BIG news from @collegeboard. While this is a relatively small change, it sends a big message that the standardized testing landscape is changing.

[College Board @CollegeBoard]

Important update: We will no longer offer SAT Subject Tests. (International students can still take them in May and June.)

We will also discontinue the optional SAT Essay after the June 2021 administration.

You can find additional details here. ⬇️ https://t.co/qOB6WZrD5G

The number of questions on #FAFSA will go from 108 to 36. SO many years of advocacy led to this progress. This is a win for students!
