[quote=Anonymous]Relying on tests only for admission would shut out many qualified students. Due to the pushing of “differentiated instruction” in schools nowadays, students are often able to demonstrate their knowledge in different manners: via a traditional written test (be it multiple choice, or essay), poster, add, video, etc…. Not all students do well on multiple choice exams/standardized tests. I taught for many years, and some of my smartest/problem solver type kiddos would do amazing projects, but struggled on multiple choice exams. Teaching in schools is going more and more in the direction of offering choices to show knowledge. One test, one day will never give you the whole picture. GPA, course rigor, letters of rec and essays should weigh more in admissions, in my opinion. [/quote]
