[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting to see all these posts about variations in grade inflation. And California has gotten rid of standardized tests since they [b]don't give the results they want[/b].[/quote] It is to level the playing field across all socio-economic groups, which is a good thing.[/quote] The UC systems own report said standardized tests were the single best predictor of college success across all the groups they analyzed. Interestingly the scores predicted success irrespective of household income. In other words, a poor kid with a 1200 performed the same on average as a rich kid with a 1200. Their own researchers recommended not eliminating standardized tests. But the UC system did anyway. The PP was correct; they got rid of them not because they couldn’t get the classes they wanted using objective measures like standardized tests.[/quote]
