Georgia won't demand tests to enter 23 of 26 public colleges

Students applying to 23 of Georgia’s 26 public universities and colleges next year won’t need to take the SAT or ACT college tests to apply. Regents voted Wednesday to let students apply without the tests through the 2024-2025 school year. University System of Georgia officials say renewed testing requirements would likely drive students to other colleges. Tests will remain required at the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, while Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville will resume a testing requirement. Chancellor Sonny Perdue says that's an experiment to examine how requiring the exams affects applications.
