[quote=Anonymous]Scores are table stakes, nothing more. Putting up a good score signals wealth, sure there are high scores that come from concerted effort without expense, but that's the exception, that's the kid pulling the wool over admissions eyes, because schools are using the tests to sort for *wealth*. If schools wanted a test that measured some other quality--intelligence, ability to succeed in life--there'd be one already. They don't. All you have to do is read through a sample test, there are no challenging questions. Anything that a student gets wrong on first pass can be taught, any place they work too slowly can be taught. Anyone with means makes sure this happens. Anyone who puts another meaning in these tests, is the real chump.[/quote]
