What is the relevance of standardized test scores in a test-optional college admissions environment?

In the context of many colleges and universities adopting test-optional policies, standardized test scores like the SAT and ACT still play a significant role in admissions decisions, especially at top-ranked institutions. A substantial number of these schools consider these scores as either “important” or “very important” in their evaluation process. This indicates that, despite the test-optional trend, a strong performance on these standardized tests can significantly enhance a student’s application, particularly at competitive schools where these scores are highly valued.
