[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if it were designed to be truly meritocratic, entrance exams for elite colleges would look nothing like the SATs.[/quote] What's your evidence that entrance exams of any kind are "truly meritocratic"?[/quote] I think that’s inherently definitional and, in this case, would depend on the assumption that the students most deserving of an elite college education are those who will be most capable of producing (and/or most likely to produce) consistently excellent work of the type required by the college. This assumption could certainly be persuasively challenged. But, for those who start from that assumption, it’s ludicrous to insist that SATs are an effective way of identifying such students (even though SATs are probably a relatively efficient way of disqualifying the weakest applicants).[/quote]
