Many colleges continue to practice a test-optional testing policy. In lieu of testing, some colleges are asking for a supplemental document (graded writing assignment, in depth resume, AP/IB scores, etc.) to be submitted. Please check with each individual college for more information and to see their specific policy. This website also compiles this information and is updated on a regular basis.

*Every student is different, so please do your own research. Some students may take each exam one time before deciding which one they want to continue with; while others pick one and stick with it.
*Students who receive free/reduced lunch are eligible for fee waivers. Please see your counselor or Mr. DeRocco.
