"Test-optional." "Test-flexible." "Test-blind." What does it all mean, and how do you decide whether to submit your scores?
If you're confused about the new landscape of college admissions, you're not alone. Test-optional policies have changed the game, but they've also created more questions than answers for students and parents.
Should you submit a 1200? A 1350? What if your GPA is strong but your test scores are average? What if it's the opposite?
This workshop will give you clarity, strategy, and confidence to make the right choice for YOUR student and YOUR target colleges.

✅ What "test-optional" REALLY means (hint: it's not always what you think)
✅ The difference between test-optional, test-flexible, and test-blind
✅ How policies vary by college (and why it matters)
✅ What admissions officers actually do with submitted scores
📊 When Scores Help (and When They Hurt):
✅ The strategic formula: When your scores strengthen your application
✅ When going test-optional is the smarter move
✅ How to compare your scores to a college's admitted student profile
