[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is all so the testing companies (and the whole test prep Industry) make more money. I bet they and the wealthy parents would lobby against this. (Should they only be allowed to take it once? Twice?) [/quote] Says the posters that pay thousands of dollars for their private College Counselor/consultant, essay editor/writer and tutor. Give me a break!!! My kid used a Barron's test prep book like I did as a kid. Straight A student--who hit a 35 ACT first try end of Sophomore year. Taking away more and more indicators of merit are ridiculous and is why we have way too many applicants paying $$$ to apply to 30+ colleges---90% of them they wouldn't be able to if scores were actually required. The more ways to evaluate a candidate: Standardized tests/AP exam scores/GPAs/recommendations/writing sample, etc., is a good thing. Making the process to get into an academic institution 90% holistic is lowering standards.[/quote]
