[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Standardized tests reward a certain kind of learning and prep. It's helpful but not a full or super nuanced picture. It is mostly a multiple choice test. I'd hate to be reduced to a number like on the South Korean CSAT although that is only once per year and no retest and covers 5 different subjects not just two. I think [b]grades, interviews, references and essays are more important than prepping for a standardized test resourced students can prep for and take unlimited times[/b]. [/quote] Don't even know where to start with grades. Grade inflation, heavy tutoring, teacher's preference, subjectivity, just to name a few. Interviews, references and essays are so nepo, DCUM moms' favorites! All the money in play. Setting up internship through connections. Essay coaches, consultants. Rigor is very important, but appears to be missing. [/quote]
