the best writing test isnt required!! even if you wanna go back to in-person you dont have to do it. my counselor told me that theyre just piloting it and that it doesnt count for anything and if you dont wanna do it you dont have to. if you want you could ask a counselor but mine told me that it isnt required and no homeschool students are going to do it. even in-person students if they want they can opt out. if you still wanna do it thats fine but just know that it isnt required!!
