The Magic Number? 730
That is the number of schools that have gone "test optional," according to FairTest. The National Center for Fair & Open Testing tracks this stuff better than we could -- and the fact that I can remember a very recent day when this number was closer to 400 schools means they are making a difference.
I've had chats with parents of high school seniors who are aghast that their children can actually avoid the test and still get into a good school.
Hey, another $41.50 saved here or there can go a long way...
(That's the going rate for the SAT.)
Robert Schaeffer runs the FairTest group. He's got the noblest of intentions, and he's one of those "good guys" who is making a difference. Check out his site -- a ton more resources there.
