Schools such as colleges and universities require Standardized Testing in order to be considered as an applicant. On the other hand, many schools now have a test optional program that gives students who may not have strong test scores, the opportunity to apply to strategic universities. After touring test optional school myself I found that they understand students struggles through these tests. They find that it doesn’t measure students knowledge on what they know for many reasons such as having a bad day, or simply just not good at test taking. If you feel that test optional schools might be the right school for you, click on this link and you will see the 100+ schools around the country that are testing optional!

I don’t understand how people may not realize what students like us are going through on a day-to-day basis. We constantly are going to school taking test that don’t matter in the real world. Test that do not define who we are as students. Test creators such as the college board, NYS regents (for all the New Yorkers), and common core founders need to hear our voice and reasonings.
