[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because parents and businesses have over optimized the process. The SATs use to be a test of what you actually learned and retained. Now folks take prep classes and review 6weeks-months before the exam then quickly forget everything. [/quote]Colleges can stop that simply by saying they will ignore SAT scores in excess of, say, 1500. They will ignore AP exams beyond one history exam, one science, one math , one CS, and one "other." They will ignore classes taken beyond AP or college freshman equivalents.[/quote] They are already doing that under the guise of holistic admissions and discriminating against qualified students and pandering to a specific racial group for perceived social acceptance.
