[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole purpose of the SAT and ACT is that they are *standardized* [b]non-subjective tests[/b] of aptitude. If you have 5 kids taking the same test, you score the tests and see which kid made the best score. Easy, right? Ha.[/quote] see I think this is debatable. [/quote] How on earth can the answer to an Algebra 2 problem be subjective? If you give 5 kids the same exact problem to solve and 2 of the kids solve it correctly and mark the right answer, while the other 3 solve it incorrectly and mark the wrong answer.....what else do we need to know? [/quote] Exactly. And if a kid has a high adversity score, how does that indicate in any way that he/she can handle said algebra in college? This system is set up for failure. Folks now have to be careful who they hire, coming out of these colleges. I agree with a PP about avoiding candidates with fluff-majors from Ivy Leagues. [/quote]
