[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The fewer objective measurements, the more opaque cherry-picking they can do. And in the near future, you'll wonder why they have way fewer Asian students graduates... [/quote] It’s not objective. You can game the test, pay for test tutoring and increase scores. The only proven correlation between SATs and ACTs is income. [/quote] An 1100 can’t game their way into a 1500. A kid could go up 100 points or something, but it’s not hugely significant. The people who will lose out are the smart kids in not-great schools or not-great backgrounds who will lose out on the opportunity to show what they are capable of in an objective way. There will be shining stars who miss out on opportunities to rise out of their circumstances due to this change. It’s not the win that people arguing for it think it is. [/quote]
