[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child excelling in a top private (As etc but also sports) who tests beautifully and even I hope SATs never come back. It’s a racket. Either we come up with a better standardized test and/or truly start valuing a fully rounded child or both, but we should not go back to the system of essay counselor factories and SAT prep cram schools deciding the admissions. It’s just all misaligned the way it was. There are countries with those systems and their societies are structured in line with that so plenty to choose for cram school type parents.[/quote] Most countries have exams as the primary if not the sole means of entrance to university. The US is too diverse in its education systems to rely on GPA alone. They need something that works as a potential equalizer. The SATs and ACTs are what they are. They help some and hurt others and for most they are simply a verification of the rest of the file.[/quote]
