@AlmostThere2018 He didn’t sit for the Feb test since he was at the state DECA conference. The March test was cancelled the night before. At least we knew ahead of time for April and May. His June ACT was cancelled the night before. I had called the testing center and they told us that the state would not allow any testing all summer so I presume July is cancelled. It’s hard to keep your kid motivated to study when 6 times I a row it is cancelled, especially at the last minute.
This is the exact reason the schools are test optional to try to alleviate the stress and so the kids know it won’t count against them.
I don’t think it would be fair to give the kids with a score a leg up because they were able to take it the same way they can’t punish the kids who weren’t able to take it. I am certain he is not alone that there are a lot of kids who simply cannot take the test for reasons out of their control.
When people post that the kids need to continue to study to produce a score, it creates more anxiety and stress as I don’t think they realize that it is simply not even possible.
Yes, total cluster!
