Think "test-optional" means you can skip the SAT? Think again.

The "Great Return" is officially here. Major Ivy+ schools like Harvard, Brown, and Yale are reinstating their standardized testing requirements. While many families felt a sense of relief during the test-optional era, the reality is that for top-tier schools, "optional" has often been a mirage.

Why the sudden shift? These institutions are finding that test scores remain one of the most reliable predictors of academic success and a key way to identify talent across diverse backgrounds. For students aiming high, a strong score isn't just a requirement anymore: it’s a powerful tool to stand out in an increasingly crowded applicant pool.

Don't get caught in the test-optional trap. We’re breaking down everything you need to know about these policy changes and how to navigate the new landscape in our upcoming blog post.

Our deep dive into the return of required testing drops this Tuesday, May 26!
