Starting in May 2024, KD College Prep (KD) expanded its offerings to include the Complete Plus Advantage Bundle. This new offering provides 11th grade families with a discounted fee for test prep and college counseling services.

The new program option responds to a growing demand for combined services as score requirements return. Since February, thousands of families have turned to KD for answers and expedience when preparing for admissions.

KD CEO David Dillard said new score requirements came as a surprise to many college-bound students.

Quote: Students who assumed that test scores would not matter may discover that some of the schools on their college application lists now require them, leaving them to scramble, end quote, said Dillard.

KD has trained its advisors on how to provide specific guidance for students working toward competitive S A T and A C T scores in a limited timeframe. In addition, the organization offers extended hours and additional class schedule options during the summer, providing more opportunities for helping students achieve goals.

Quote: It’s not too late for students with approaching deadlines to earn a competitive test score. We’ll do everything we can to help them get there, end quote, Dillard said.

In February, Dartmouth College became the first Ivy League school to publicize its return to a test-score requirement. Now, more than 50 colleges have returned to test-required policies.

Despite the recent test-required trend, many colleges remain test optional. Dillard said this makes for a confusing and unpredictable admissions landscape for students applying this fall.

Quote: More schools may make adjustments to their admission policies in the next few weeks, following the recent decisions by some prominent schools. By the end of next year's admission cycle, there may be even more. Expect continued changes with others holding steady, end quote, Dillard said.

For Class of 2025 students applying this fall, Dillard recommends the Apply Now Essay Boot Camp for 12th graders who will juggle testing and college applications at the same time. The three-day boot camp helps students make a head start on their college applications.
