[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I don’t understand the logic behind “test optional” admisssions. In this world of everyone gets a trophy, it’s the only standardized measure by which schools can compare students. When I read college confidential and someone claims to have an unweighted 4.0 and a 1120 SAT, my eyebrows go up. So many schools have rampant grade inflation that you just can’t compare GPAs from one school to another. And yes, I know, some kids aren’t good at timed tests...but 90% of school grades are based on timed tests also. Students who need accommodations on tests in school also get accommodations on standardized tests. [/quote] Kids with an unweighted 4.0 might or might not be taking the most challenging classes possible. [/quote]
