[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look the reality is that most of our kids and most of us parents hate taking and preparing for this one-day stressful test. But it does add value. I'm happy it's becoming the norm again to mandate testing.

The schools that will use test scores as one criteria for admission already did this for decades pre-covid. So this isn't some big ideological leap. Going TO temporarily was and I think it negatively impacted college admissions process and added to anxiety and hysteria.

If anything, going test required again will bring SAT scores back down to earth. It's really hard to get a combined SAT score north of 1500 so I'll be happy when scores in the 1400's become the new standard for top schools again.[/quote]

Scor3s will continue to be high due to superscoring.  The digital tests are shorter so easier for kids to take multiple times.[/quote]

The current SAT is too easy. They need to bring back the old test where maybe 1 kid got over a 1500 at many high schools and there was far more differentiation at the top. 1400 was Ivy level, and even a score in the 1000s meant something. But the College Board has been at the forefront of the great failed social experiment in education.[/quote]
100% agree. I don’t find the SAT a meaningful measure of anything until it’s actually a rigorous exam.[/quote]
You don’t find? Who are you?[/quote]
Hey idiot! This is actually a forum where everyone is allowed to speak on their experiences, not just you. If you can’t accept that, stop reading forums![/quote]
