Test-optional Does Not Mean Test Blind
​by Jed Applerouth, PhD on January 15, 2019 in Admissions, Jed Said, Test Prep

  • A decrease in the number of lower-scoring incoming students with reported scores, resulting in a potential increase in the reported average test scores for admitted students.
  • In some cases, increased diversity, though this finding has been challenged.
