Are there any bachelor's degree tests?

I'm a high school junior and I've heard about bachelor's degree tests. Are they a real thing and do they play any role in college admissions or accessibility to jobs?

Yes, it's true that there are some tests related to bachelor's degrees, but they're not directly involved in the college admissions process or job applications for most students. The main type is called a Major Field Test (MFT). These tests assess students' knowledge and understanding in their chosen major area, usually during their final year of college or in some cases, for graduate programs.

While MFTs can provide useful insight regarding a student's grasp of their major-specific subjects, they generally do not impact college admissions or job prospects. Colleges are more interested in your high school GPA, standardized test scores (if required), extracurricular activities, essays, and your overall academic profile when evaluating your application.

In terms of job prospects, employers usually won't ask about your MFT scores directly, but may refer to your degree, its major, and your overall academic standing or GPA. Internships, practical experience, recommendations, and networking are more important factors for employers when considering job applicants.

In short, while bachelor's degree tests like Major Field Tests do exist, they don't have a direct bearing on college admissions or job accessibility. It's more important to focus on building a strong academic record and gaining relevant experience in your chosen field to increase your chances of college admission and future job success.
