NO MORE SAT SUBJECT TESTS | NO MORE SAT ESSAY (end of an era for the College Board)

[@jon4709]

i hate how they announced this suddenly and effective immediately...

[@keepleft]

If anything the last few years has taught us is that Americans are becoming waaay too smart. We need to lower the demand on information processing and critical thinking and applied knowledge. Maybe they'll replace the "essay" with a "tweet".

[@shaepae]

Lmao... a whole tweet may be too complex as well... perhaps just a hashtag would be sufficient...

[@eagleleft]

You do know standardized testing on the whole is a bad way to measure the competence of anyone. Judging you by your school career as a whole is a much more effective strategy.

I’m going to apply this year as an international student. I got my green card about 6 months ago so I’m already living in the US but I finished my High School in Brazil. I heard many times that as an international student it was important to take some SAT Subject tests but now I mean, I don’t have that option anymore right !? Do you think it is still gonna have a great impact for international students to take SAT Subject tests? We don’t have AP tests in Brazil

[@PrepwithJen]

If you're already living in the US, then you may not have the option to take subject tests. It's OK, this is a nationwide change, so you're not alone. Take a look at the policy for each college on your list. If for some reason a school wants subject test scores for international students, you can explain your situation. This change is massive and sudden, and we're all in shock. Hang in there!

[@JAYWLEE]

If by summer 2022 sat subject tests are going to get scrapped for international students as well, will our subject test scores from the past still have some weight in our college apps?

[@PrepwithJen]

It depends on the school. Check the colleges on your list to see how they're treating subject test scores.

[@SeharSaleem]

How is it by summer 2022?? Isn't the last subject test to be conducted for international students in june? May and june 2021 tests are the last, so far i know. Please tell if it's till 2022

[@PrepwithJen]

@@SeharSaleem I believe they meant 2021, not 2022.

[@shauryasaini6196]

wait so if I signed up for sat with essay for march exam, should I cancel the essay?

[@PrepwithJen]

Yes, I would cancel.

[@nishchayranjan8444]

International students can still take subject tests,so should we take it or not ?

[@chulo6683]

I mean not really..It would be wayy better to go with AP

[@PrepwithJen]

In general, if you're already taking an AP in that subject, I wouldn't take the subject test. To be extra safe, check each college on your list to see how they're handling subject test scores

[@rebecataques4596]

People are saying they are gonna take AP tests instead of SAT Subjects, but I don’t think international students can take AP tests.

[@chulo6683]

@@rebecataques4596 they can. I am an international student and many people take Aps in my school. It's just that the amount of countries that offer AP are limited

[@rebecataques4596]

@@chulo6683 so in order to take AP You do have to take AP classes during your high school right? I mean in Brazil AP classes don’t exist hahaha

[@Naturerelax23.]

hi i have a question. besides sat in english and mathematics, do i need to take other exams in subjects. what should i take if they were canceled? Answer please.

[@laasyapriyabhadri3809]

Hey! Should we take any subject tests other literature and maths if you are an engineering aspirants Please let know I have this doubt in my mind for a very long time

[@shiasm8899]

My school offeres AP classes, but I plan on moving to another school that offers dual enrollment classes, and not AP classes. With current conditions, do you think that is a wise decision?

[@PrepwithJen]

The most important thing is to show colleges that you're challenging yourself in the context of your school. If your school only offers dual enrollment classes, then taking those shows initiative.

[@uttaraiyer5158]

I’m a student in India applying for class of 2026, I’m taking the Subject tests in March since AP exams aren’t accessible easily here. Will my subject test score be factored in my application process? What should I do?

[@vedantrode7027]

Really helpful . Thank you so much.

[@tomholland949]

I will be graduating from high school next year in February 2022 and I want to apply for colleges in the uk I live in India,soo will sat be compulsory ?

[@laianaalves6177]

I'm from Brazil and I'm going to apply this year. Since December I've been studying for the SAT without the essay and have been a little hard to study. I also don't understand these subjects tests, it's a little confusing for me :( It's an obligation to do these subject test as an international student?

[@claraferreira3281]

Tem algumas faculdades que tipo não obrigam mas "recomendam fortemente" tipo harvard eles recomendam que para aplicar você faça 2 sat subject

[@laianaalves6177]

@@claraferreira3281 Obrigada! :D (só vi agora a mensagem, srry)

[@art-io1po]

Is this something indefinitely or just for the moment

[@PrepwithJen]

Everything mentioned in this video is a permanent change unless we hear otherwise.

[@HM-li6di]

So there’s still sat general right?

[@PrepwithJen]

Yes, as far as we know the regular SAT is still on and possibly even more important than before.

[@tokitahmid7572]

Is AP going to be more important?

[@PrepwithJen]

That is very likely, as AP exams will now officially count as an admissions exam.

[@jgsource552]

Finally something good in 2021. Not like SATs prepared you for college anyways... just more stress added for your HS years

[@nujhattarannumtanbin5851]

Hi jen Am a junior at high school I wanna go to good college of my district So according to your video what does it mean I didn't underestand Can I skip SAT?

[@PrepwithJen]

Currently (January 2021), there are no changes to the regular SAT. Depending on the schools you're applying to, you may still have to take it.

[@sumansharma3257]

Bye the way ,Thanks .
