[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Same can be applied to SATs, yet, most colleges use these scores as part of admissions. And a lot of kids of all ethnicities take SAT prep tests and/or tutor classes. [b]If standardized tests only reflect rote learning or the ability to be good at taking exams, then colleges should stop using SAT/ACTs scores as part of the admissions process[/b]. But, I bet your kid has or will probably prep for the SATs when the time comes. When the time comes, I know I will encourage my DCs to prep for the SATs. I do agree, though, that some people are better at taking exams than others, and it is not necessarily an accurate reflection of how "smart" they are. [/quote] Yes, they should. And many colleges actually have stopped.[/quote] Mostly lower tier colleges, right? [/quote] certainly not the majority of the top tiers.[/quote]
