College standardized tests are exams that assess high school students' academic abilities and readiness for college. These tests provide colleges with a uniform measure to compare applicants from different educational backgrounds. Standardized tests have long been a part of the college admissions process in the United States, though their role has evolved in recent years.
In recent years, many colleges have moved to test-optional or test-blind admissions policies, meaning applicants can choose whether to submit their scores or colleges won’t consider them at all. This shift is part of a broader discussion on equity and the accessibility of standardized testing.
