no, I don't think there is rampant cheating.

I am talking more about the rampant cheating.

Sorry about the title.

Is the CB a money-making business trying to sell colleges and kids on more and more unnecessary tests? Absolutely! (My kid took the SAT, 5 APs AND several SSATs. It's madness.)

Do I think the test is written in a way that kids from an upper middle class background do better than others? Yes, there have been studies that prove this. I hear the CB has tried to address this but I doubt they've made much of a dent in the problem.

Do I think they're nefarious, rigging test scores to favor some kids over others, or that they're just incompetent at scoring test results? Nah, not more than any other testing company.

No not the "eintegrity" at all.

ACT has had its share of problems.

I think we will go ACT and only do SAT if junior year psat warrants it.
