CollegeSpring equips schools and their teachers with an SAT, ACT, and college knowledge
curriculum

We were founded on the belief that a higher SAT or ACT score is one of the most powerful ways for a student to boost their college prospects. Since 2008, we’ve helped over 25,000 students from low-income backgrounds gain greater Test Confidence™ and increase their SAT scores by an average of 104 points. Learn more about our work and impact at www.collegespring.org! CollegeSpring is a national non-

profit organization that equips low-income students with the academic skills and mentoring they need to close the SAT, ACT, and college opportunity gaps. Since 2008, we have served more than 15,000 students in the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, and New York, helping them achieve increased test scores, acceptances into better-matched, more-selective colleges, higher persistence rates, and greater opportunities for future success.

The evidence is clear: standardized tests are essential to predicting- and empowering- equitable postsecondary student success, particularly for our most vulnerable students. Data suggests that test-optional policies "deny them an opportunity to change their lives- and change society- for the better."

Colleges have fled standardized tests, on the theory that they hurt diversity. That’s not what the research shows.
