You forgot the UC study that looked at ALL the research and found that test scores  were statistically significant in predicting college success.  I believe that Purdue released similar research when they returned to test required.[/quote]

No, I’m not forgetting that study. I’m noting that there are lots of studies with lots of different conclusions. Anyone saying that there’s a clear answer based on one study is not interested in the messy reality.

Which is why I’m a fan of test optional and holistic admissions—let schools figure out how to incorporate test scores. Let students emphasize their strengths. This is not a black and white issue, no matter how much you want it to be.[/quote]
