[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one has yet to explain how prepping for a test is different than studying for a test.  [b]Lots of free resources available for test prep. Ok [/b][/quote]

No one wants to acknowledge this.  The "anti-SAT" crowd wants any semblance of standardized measurement of ability removed so we can no longer call the admitted crowd "not qualified".   See what's happening at a lot of colleges this year. Most admissions offices are filled with left-leaning, SLAC-bred AOs.   They are having a field day capitalizing on the "test optional" situation to bring on kids who fit their model of "preferred ability" over kids with actual ability over without impacting their US News rankings game.  If all those admits were to take the SAT, we will know where they will land.

Will these admits survive the "rigors" of college.  Of course they will.. dumba** athletes and legacy admits have been doing that for years.  [/quote]

And lots of the "born on third base, think they hit a triple" crowd thinks the fact that there are free resources available makes everything else on the playing field level.

As for whether "these admits survive the "rigors" of college".  Your presumptuous and insulting speculation can be summarily dismissed by reading the graduation rates posted just a few pages back.[/quote]
