A little over a year ago, I wrote about the accelerating rate at which colleges and universities were going test optional. I explained that test-optional isn’t going to last, simply because there’s no good reason for it to remain. I’m going to re-post the entire thing here, but read all the way to the bottom for really important updates and recommendations. Or at least skip down to the bottom for the updates. But really, just keep reading.

Last week the University of California system, which includes nine undergraduate universities and over a quarter million college students, made an amazing announcement.
They’re going test-optional for the next two years.
