Trump says Standardized testing not required for this Season's application season (25?)

This is for state obligations to the DOE. And the downside would be that some students won’t get their school day SAT/ACT during this school year - which probably wasn’t going to happen anyway due to schools being closed. I don’t think this announcement has anything to do with college admissions whatsoever, except to the extent that the lack of spring school day testing pushes more colleges toward test optional. It wouldn’t be surprising if those high schools picked up a fall school day test date - there are some in Oct, if I recall.
