Important Exams

Normally, standardized tests are required for college admissions, but for 2020 many schools are test optional. That means you don't need to submit scores in order to apply if you can't take the test or don't think your score would help your application. If you have a good score, submitting it can still help you, but not submitting a score for any reason won't be held against you.

If you are on free/reduced lunch, or paying for the test would be difficult for your family, contact Ms. Riley for a fee waiver at driley.ls@lee.k12.nc.us
