[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Testing most closely correlates to income. Income is tied to success in the education system. Stop pretending testing gives everyone a fair shot just because there's an anecdote about a poor kid going to college. They probably didn't get in just because of tests, but because they had a good story. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/03/rich-students-get-better-sat-scores-heres-why.html [/quote] If you look at actual research, like the comprehensive UC study, you would learn that test scores are predictive of success even when controlling for demographics.[/quote] +1 There is so much data confirming this. The UC study showed that including essays in the holistic evaluation process tilted results in favor of higher income students to a greater degree than the standardized tests did. [/quote]
