[quote=Anonymous]The SAT has become a shell of what it once was, and in many ways has lost its purpose. When originally introduced it identified really bright kids no matter where they lived. Get a 1500 in the 70s and you were a standout, get a 1200 and you were more than ready for any college in America. But just like the rampant grade inflation the test has been re-baselined to become almost meaningless. Add on the test prep industry and once sought after scores are at the lower end of acceptable. Some kids do well on standardized tests, some don’t. College is/was the new high school. Too early to tell how changes in loan programs, the potential elimination of the Department of Education and a slow steady decline in population will impact the college landscape over the next decade or two. But those kids with grit, determination, and resilience will find a way to succeed irrespective of their SAT score. [/quote]
