People seem to have forgotten why the SAT was created in the first place. It was to demonstrate that non-WASPs had what it takes to thrive at elite universities. There weren't a lot of underprivileged URMs at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton in 1953. The SAT was a big reason why that changed. [b]And as the article noted, test optional has benefitted the wealthy and the privileged and harmed smart students from lower and middle class backgrounds.  [/b]

I guess we’re saying goodbye to the argument that tests benefit those from wealthy backgrounds who can buy test prep to inflate their scores artificially? 🙄[/quote]

There are ton of good free materials available these days.
It's a more like a matter of will.

My kids had a prep class for one Summer paying like $1500?  
It was more like forcing them to do the practice tests.

Colleges are full of tests.
You should study and prepare for any type of tests.  
Common sense.
