That's why they changed to a test that didn't have free trying available in the hopes that kids would not be able to study for the test.  They STILL couldn't get the racial profile they desired so they just got rid of the test and things got a lot easier.   Until kids started failing.  [/quote]

It worked for a year until the test prep companies caught up. Class of 2022 was significantly more diverse and performed outstandingly well.[/quote]

If by more diverse, you mean more white, then yes the class of 2022 was more diverse.  The two groups that saw increased admissions were Hispanic (went from 8 to 23) and white (went from 87 to 111).  These changes always seem to help the white kids the most.[/quote]

Well, yes. You’re essentially admitting that if you use the same exam format year over year, it benefits Asian students.

That isn’t the flex that you think it is. Especially when so many have defended the exam that produced the above results tooth and nail now that it’s been hacked.[/quote]

Yes.  Any time you use an objective test that you can study for, the kids that study hard are going to do better than the kids that don't.[/quote]

Yep - but sadly, these exams end up being little more than an opportunity for families of means to spend money to get their kids ahead through familiarity with the exam, rather than through superior content area knowledge.

And you can talk all you want about free prep opportunities and “just studying hard”, but if they were as effective as the boutique options, motivated families wouldn’t spend the extra money and would just use the free stuff.[/quote]
