[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SAT and ACT is testing speed. I don’t care who says it’s not. The SAT and ACT have said it is.

So I have a problem with accommodations that completely take that out of the equation.

SAT: our test is designed to test scholastic aptitude under timed conditions.

Parent: but my kid does poorly under timed conditions.

SAT: well, then your child won’t do as good on this test. Er. Wait. No. Strike that. Then we will give your child more time?

This will never be fair to me. No dog in the fight, though. [/quote]

SAT: Our test is SUPPOSED to be designed to let colleges know which students will be successful in college.

Parent: My child is ready for college but can't take at test designed like the SAT... (oh yea can you get rid of b and d since they are essentially the same to my child)

SAT: Okay we need to find a way to not get sued for creating a test that does not work for people with disabilities and we are only here to make money so we are not designing a good test.

ACT: We can design a better test and better accomodations

SAT: O F&&k ACT is taking market share, we will change our test.

Colleges: SAT and ACT suck ... forget it we are just using GPA. [/quote]
