it wasn't an experiment it was due to testing centers closing during the pandemic[/quote]
CA schools didn't go TO because of covid.[/quote]

Am genuinely curious how the UC's are going to respond to the changes. UCLA had almost 145k applicants this year! Cal Berkeley had 125k applicants. Those numbers are... wild. [/quote]

UC schools went Test Blind completely independent of Covid.  I am fine with Test Blind or Test Required, but TO has been the absolute worst.

Supposedly, they are creating their own test...not sure if that is still happening or what.  I don't see them ever returning to SAT/ACT.[/quote]

Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of the College Board and have some thoughts about a private company having the kind of power they have over educational outcomes in America without much oversight at all.

But also, I am not super optimistic about California's ability to develop a test that substitutes for the SAT and ACT without reintroducing the same issues that made them go test blind in the first place.

Should be interesting![/quote]

NY State has been doing it for over 100 yrs.
