[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And don’t give me BS that standardized tests don’t matter.  Grade inflation is rampant in some schools.  Comparing GPAs from different schools are worse than comparing oranges and apples.

Tell me that the numbers at football combines are irrelevant for NFL draft.  Tell Black people that how fast you run, how much weight you lift is irrelevant to success in NFL. [/quote]

Very different issues.  Yes, how fast you can run, how much you can lift, how you perform at the combine is directly related to your success in the NFL.  Because those "tests" are ALL part of your daily job in the NFL.

How you perform on the SAT is NOT directly related to how well you will do in college or in life in your career.  It simply is not the best indicator.  In the real world, if I don't know an answer to a problem, I consult with my team lead, my cohorts, or simply anyone who is an expert in that area.  I work to solve the problem, and I don't do it in a vacuum by myself.  In the real world, I don't guess at what the formula is before I do calculations, I look it up and make damn sure I'm using the right formula. I talk to others if I have any questions or concerns.
