[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a good move since has seemed in my layperson opinion that sat subject tests are knowledge based so AP tests in similar subjects gets to the same objective. However, and I ask this as a layperson and clearly as someone who doesn’t have a current senior, I don’t understand how colleges are distinguishing among students without some stabdardized test results. Grades and course rigor aren’t enough, because so many students max out on both. I realize that has happened with SAT, too, but every additional data point is one more possible way to compare prospective students. I especially think the essay portion of the SAT was useful because it was a truly unedited example of the student’s writing - even if it isnt graded by the College Board, it would be useful for submission with applications so that admissions counselors could read. Thoughts on this? [/quote]
