[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long past time to drop the SAT/ACT as part of admission process. The SAT/ACT can be gamed legally and illegally. The getting more time is the least of the problems. I really do not know why so many people focus on this one thing. Other kids have been drilled by professionals, shown how to game the test and worked “practice” exams for years. [/quote] Doing drills and practice exams and learning test-taking strategies is not "gaming the test" or "cheating". Nor are they beyond the reach of even poor students. [/quote] Yes they are. [/quote] I’m in education. Poor (and middle class, for the most part) families just do not give a sh-t. I’ve talked til I’m blue in the face about important of test prep and summer programs on and on and it just doesn’t click with them. This isn’t a money problem or resource problem, it’s a culture/values problem. [/quote]
