Why Some Schools Are Rethinking Standardized Tests?

For nearly a century the ACT and SAT exams were hailed as gold standards for admissions in the U.S.— and when applying for college, students typically take one or the other. The scores have typically been used as key factors not only in college admissions, but scholarship opportunities, too. But COVID shutdowns made it harder to take the tests, accelerating the switch to test-optional admissions. #tests #sat #act #scrippsnews

before standardized tests, only the sons and daughters of teachers,
only the "insiders" knew what to review for the exam,
there are millions of us in the middle and lower classes who have failed our exams, because only the Insiders have the answers in advance!
