ABOUT THIS EVENT

Many selective universities, including Brown, Caltech, Dartmouth, Harvard, and Yale, are now requiring standardized test scores as part of their admissions processes. Others, like Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, and UPenn, will reinstate their testing policies for the 2025-2026 application cycle. No matter where you choose to apply, it is critical to develop a personalized testing plan.

Join IvyWise college admissions and test prep experts to learn about the current standardized testing landscape. They cover topics including:

  • Understanding evolving testing policies at the schools on your list.
  • The benefit of submitting strong test scores when applying to test-optional schools.
  • Preparing for the Digital SAT, which is now offered both in the U.S. and abroad.
  • What to expect when the ACT implements changes to its test format and length starting in April 2025.
