Interesting to consider the future of testing in the college admissions process -- look at 3 recent College Board decisions:
1) the AP Exams - while most AP Exams will be available digitally if need be, the foreign language ones (this year) are not - colleges want to see the entire foreign language exam, not just the speaking section. So if AP Spanish, French and German cannot be administered in person due to Covid-19, College Board will provide another option - CLEP Exams for free later on.
2) National Merit - for students unable to take PSAT this past fall or in Jan 2021, students will have up to June 2021 to take the SAT for submission/consideration to National Merit Scholarship, but students must complete the ALTERNATIVE ENTRY FORM by April 1st -

3). National Recognition Scholarship Program - expanding to include AP Exams and 10th Grade PSAT - https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/.../recognition...
