The UC System plans to phase out the SAT and ACT—and other schools may follow suit (via CNBCMakeIt)
"Today's decision by the Board marks a significant change for the University's undergraduate admissions," said UC president Janet Napolitano. "We are removing the ACT/SAT requirement for California students and developing a new test that more closely aligns with what we expect incoming students to know to demonstrate their preparedness for UC."
When asked about the trend of schools going test-optional during a March call with the press, The College Board's chief executive officer David Coleman said "we support schools totally in whatever flexibility they decide." According to plans laid out by administrators, UC schools will have the option to use ACT/SAT test scores during the fall 2021 and fall 2022 admissions years, adopting what is typically known as a test-optional policy.
Though test scores may still be considered for other purposes such as course placement and certain scholarships, schools will not consider test scores for Californian applicants during the fall 2023 and fall 2024 admissions years, known as test-blind. "By 2025, any use of the ACT/SAT would be eliminated for California students," reads the plan. Administrators are still coordinating how to phase out ACT/SAT testing for non-California residents.
