[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The elephant in the room that nobody wants to acknowledge is paying for test prep.  Affluent families who pay big money for someone to help their kids with test prep give their kids a huge advantage in this test required world.   Until someone figures out how to normalize for that, the whole system is still going to be messed up - test optional, test required, or whatever else!  Maybe scores should be reduced by 0.1 point for every dollar you pay for test prep (pay $1000 your score gets reduced 100 points) and require a legally binding agreement that if you lie about your costs you forfeit your acceptance [/quote]
No different than getting a tutor to help boost grades; college counselor to help write college essays; private coaches to help become a D1 athlete.[/quote]

All are signs of privilege and all are accepted by colleges….[/quote]

And there is plenty of free quality prep available for SATs, unlike all the other stuff rich people pay for. I am glad many colleges have regained their sanity and are requiring tests again.[/quote]
