Some schools have reinstated testing requirements due to studies showing their effectiveness in predicting student success. Over the last decade, there was a push to eliminate standardized testing for college admissions, which gained traction during the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of colleges dropped their testing requirements, and even after the pandemic, the policies remained in place. The main argument against standardized tests is the racial disparities in scores, with opponents labeling it as racism. They argue that removing testing requirements helps combat systemic inequities. Advocates for eliminating testing urge prioritizing other metrics like GPA, extracurricular activities, and family background for admissions decisions.
