[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ridiculous![/quote] Sounds like this test doesn't provide any helpful information about student outcomes so not all that ridiciulous.[/quote] ??? You are completely wrong. All the studies by MIT, UC, etc.. proved that standardized tests are good indication for academic success in colleges. [/quote] NP. You are completely wrong. The results from studies are mixed—some say test scores don’t correlate with success, some say they do, some say they correlate but aren’t the best predictor of success. There is no definitive evidence in any direction. And what schools going test-optional seem to be finding is that they can select successful students without test scores, so they are removing it as a required factor in admissions.[/quote]
