[quote=Anonymous]At its core, whatever schools decide to do, the test isn't the problem. It is, albeit imperfectly, measuring the vast gaps in college preparation among different socioeconomic groups. Yes, UMC kids can pad scores thru expensive test prep, no doubt. But they aren't padding a 900 to a 1300. Or a 1250 to a 1600. Just like parents got them into good schools, and made sure they worked for good grades,these are all pieces that get you ready for college. Test prep is just the final piece. And college admissions offices aren't dumb; they already take these issue into consideration when picking their classes. At the same time, relying on scores seems like a pretty efficient (or lazy) way to make initial cuts. Without them, college admissions staffs will need to work a lot harder. [/quote]
