They are phasing out SAT/ACT over five years: first two-years are test-optional, then in-state applicants won’t submit them. During this transitional period, they are going to try to develop a California-wide admissions test for in-state students. SAT/ACT will remain optional for out-of-state applicants.

The undertone I got was that when push comes to shove, there won't be a new test in five years. I doubt they can come up with one more "equitable" as the current options and at 36-0, the regents aren't inclined to be on the side of standardized testing.[/quote]

The Asians will find a way to ace whatever bs admissions test they make.[/quote]

This. The reason Asians do well on testing is preparation for it. Whatever the schools come up with won't really alter the Asian mentality. If you create it, they will prep for it. Good for them. The reason minorities don't do well is that they don't prep for it. Prepping is free. I take my kid to the library every Saturday morning and who is there with their SATs prep books spread all over the tables? Asian students. They are not sitting with tutors. They are just using the SAT reference books.[/quote]
