[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Board of Regents seems intent on doing this, and no logic could dissuade them.

How will you evaluate and compare students then? We will create our own test!

So now students have to prepare and take the ACT, SAT and YOUR test?

It makes no logical sense. [/quote]

Because it’s such a big state, California’s actions tend to drive trends. SAT/ACT will suffer big losses if they lose the California market, and lots of other schools will follow UC’s lead. My guess is that SAT/ACT will pretty quickly become a niche thing for a subset of kids who are trying to boost their applications.

I do agree that a California test is silly, and you’ll note that they said they’re going to investigate that option but did not commit to it. My guess is that it never comes to fruition.[/quote]

I only see this working for public school systems and those systems adopting their own test. UC's will still require test scores for OOS students. The issue is private schools inside California will suffer as students wouldn't want to take 2 tests, if they want to apply to USC or Stanford. [/quote]

No—UCs will be test optional for OOS applicants.  [/quote]
