[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should not be allowed to score above a 1300 with accommodations.

That will cut down on fakers and cheats.

Those with real learning disabilities can choose extra time or not. Whichever is best for them. This is a way to endure  kids with learning disabilities are not shut out from higher education. They may continue to learn in college with their accommodations. I agree it’s best for society when more people are educated.

The kid who scores a 1560 using accommodations will either need to take the 1300 or see what they can actually do with standard time. [/quote]

I suspect you scored high but your critical thinking skills are lacking.

Colleges are not designed to educate the highest scorers on tests. They are designed to educated people throughout the world and to help those people give back to their community.[/quote]

The above solution does not take away accommodations. Everyone gets into college.

But, really, cmon. You know darn well colleges are using the SAT to select the strongest students for their applications. The SAT does serve this purpose. [/quote]

DP.  The SAT is a first sort, or a tie-breaker at most.  You're assigning it outsized meaning.  If you don't believe me, sit down and take a sample test right now.  Do the questions you miss really capture your deficiencies?[/quote]
