UW-System Wants to Keep ACT/SAT Optional Until 2024-25 School Year

(Terry Bell, WRN) The University of Wisconsin System might give every high school student in the state a break on entrance exams.

System leaders want to keep the A-C-T and the S-A-T optional until at least the 2024-25 school year. The entrance tests became optional last year, during the height of coronavirus school closures.

The extension would mean that high school sophomores and freshmen would not have to take the tests to be admitted to a U-W school. The Board of Regents is expected to vote on the idea this week.
