Ever wondered how college admissions officers evaluate applications with and without test scores? The number of colleges and universities with test-optional and test-free admissions policies has skyrocketed since 2020.

In reality, test scores are still an important (and often overlooked) component of admissions today.

Join our founder and director, Scott Clyburn to learn why test scores still matter, both for admissions and financial aid.

After taking the PreACT or PSAT, many students glance at their score report and move on. But those students miss out on a key benefit: the opportunity to critically assess one’s college preparedness and learn from past mistakes. Join expert test prep tutor Ben Dillon to learn the following, plus more ACT- and SAT-related tips:

• how to read your PSAT or PreACT score reports;
