2025 List of Colleges Reinstating SAT & ACT Test Score Requirements

The landscape of college admissions has undergone significant shifts in recent years, particularly with the temporary suspension of standardized test requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as we approach the 2025 admissions cycle, a growing number of colleges are reinstating SAT and ACT test score requirements. This trend reflects a renewed commitment to meritocracy in education—a principle that I, Dr. Shaan Patel (Founder & CEO of Prep Expert), firmly believe is essential for fostering equal opportunity and rewarding hard work.

The Pendulum Swings Back

In the wake of the pandemic, over 1,600 colleges and universities adopted test-optional policies for the 2021 admissions cycle, according to the National Center for Fair & Open Testing (FairTest). This shift was a pragmatic response to unprecedented challenges students faced, including canceled test dates and limited access to testing centers. However, a 2021 survey by the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) revealed that 55% of admissions officers believed that standardized tests provide useful information about a student’s academic preparedness.

As the immediate impacts of the pandemic recede, many institutions are re-evaluating their admissions policies. A 2022 report by the College Board indicated that 83% of colleges that had gone test-optional were considering reinstating test requirements by 2025. This movement underscores the enduring value of standardized tests in providing a common metric for assessing academic ability across diverse educational backgrounds.

Why Standardized Tests Matter

Standardized tests play a crucial role in maintaining a meritocratic admissions process. A 2019 study published in Educational Researcher found that SAT scores, combined with high school GPA, are strong predictors of college success, accounting for up to 20% of the variance in first-year college GPA. This predictive validity is essential for institutions aiming to admit students who are prepared for rigorous academic work.

Furthermore, grade inflation has become a pervasive issue. A 2016 study by Inside Higher Ed reported that 47% of high school seniors graduated with an A average, up from 38.9% in 1998. In contrast, average SAT scores declined over the same period. Standardized tests help mitigate the effects of grade inflation by providing an objective measure of student ability.

The Path Forward

Reinstating SAT and ACT requirements aligns with the meritocratic ideals that underpin our education system. Standardized tests provide a common ground for evaluating students, especially when other metrics like GPA can vary significantly between schools. A 2018 analysis by The Chronicle of Higher Education revealed that high school GPAs differed widely due to inconsistent grading standards, making standardized tests a valuable tool for admissions committees.

Moreover, standardized tests can help identify talented students from underrepresented backgrounds. A 2015 College Board study found that 30% of students with SAT scores above 1200 came from schools that did not traditionally send students to selective colleges. Without standardized tests, these students might have been overlooked.

Conclusion

The reinstatement of SAT and ACT requirements by colleges in 2025 marks a pivotal moment in higher education. It reflects a recommitment to merit-based admissions and acknowledges the value of standardized assessments in evaluating academic readiness. While challenges remain—particularly concerning equity and access—we can overcome them through collective effort and innovation.

By embracing standardized tests as instruments of opportunity, we uphold meritocratic principles that enrich our educational institutions and empower the next generation of leaders. Let’s focus on refining these tools and expanding access to preparation resources, ensuring that all students have the chance to demonstrate their academic potential.
