[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, the book this article derived from is being widely scorned in the college admissions world as nothing but a College Board-supported effort to counter the growing “test-free” admissions movement. Part of its very specious argument is that because of grade inflation, colleges can no longer ascertain which students are truly qualified and need standardized tests more than ever. The reality, of course, is that colleges are realizing what a limited tool they are, which is why they’re going test-free, or at least dropping SAT II and SAT essay requirements [/quote] Thanks for raising this point. That's what I was thinking when I read this: "The new findings come courtesy of two researchers: Michael Hurwitz of the College Board, the folks who bring you the SAT; and Jason Lee, a doctoral student at the University of Georgia’s Institute of Higher Education." Always consider the source when looking at statistics. [/quote]
