[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sad thing about this to me, is that it seems like a covid learning loss story more than anything. These students are not dumber. The test optional stuff means that potentially fewer rich kids are in the classroom, since we know that standardized test score are a better measure of parental income than of aptitude. Why not figure out what gaps existed and focus the semester on remediation? A pandemic happened, lets figure out how to get all the info crammed Into student heads and move on. [/quote]

There are lots of inequities that come out in standardized tests but the fact remains, they are fairly good at predicting college performance, especially when combined with grades. Of course test optional makes a differences in performance! [/quote]

Actually GPA is a better predictor of College success than SAT/ACT scores.

Your kid must be test optional.
