UPDATES ON SAT/ACT TEST AND ADMISSION TO UC'S
Below is the link to the UC Board of Regents office on the SAT/ACT changes to the UC application process
University of California Standardized Testing Changes
The following outlines the Regents’ actions:
- Test-blind for fall 2023 and fall 2024: Campuses will not consider test scores for California public and independent high school applicants in admissions selection, a practice known as “test-blind” admissions. Test scores could still be considered for other purposes such as course placement, certain scholarships and eligibility for the statewide admissions guarantee.
- New standardized test: Starting in summer 2020 and ending by January 2021, UC will undertake a process to identify or create a new test that aligns with the content UC expects students to have mastered to demonstrate college readiness for California freshmen.
- Elimination of the ACT/SAT test requirement: By 2025, any use of the ACT/SAT would be eliminated for California students and a new UC-endorsed test to measure UC-readiness would be required. However, if by 2025 the new test is either unfeasible or not ready, consideration of the ACT/SAT for freshman admissions would still be eliminated for California students.
- Elimination of writing test: The University will eliminate altogether the SAT Essay/ACT Writing Test as a requirement for UC undergraduate admissions, and these scores will not be used at all effective for fall 2021 admissions.

ACT TEST PREP:
How much should students prepare for the SAT and/or the ACT? Take a common-sense approach. Use the free materials available in the College & Career Center to become familiar with what is expected. If more information is desired, local bookstores have books at a relatively low cost. If a more structured learning environment is thought necessary, refer to a list of references HERE.
