Standardized testing won’t be replaced.
Colleges will be replaced. The concept of a “college education” will be replaced.
I don’t know. Actual grades? A written essay? A personal interview? Of course, this would require grades given according to some new and more serious standard, and written essays would have to undergo hand-writing analysis to prevent plagiarism.
Yo, as an 8-year professor who left academia, for various reasons, other than the upper echelon universities and colleges, SATs were becoming near worthless anyways. Why? Cause universities and colleges were/are LOWERING their admissions requirements...and have been doing so for years. Multitudes of ‘loopholes’ to bypass admitting a student who has sh*t SAT scores, too boot.
No, I am not advocating or dismissing the value of the SATs, but hey, just indicating what is actually happening in universities and colleges today.
Why not race based admissions?....whites need not apply, Asians are subject to strict quotas and open admission for Blacks. That should make BLM happy.
Its more hypocrisy from the elites at America’s top universities. Its part of how they plan to escape from the seeming hypocrisy of unstated racial quotas.
Sure, standardized testing is “optional” but as a middle class White, Chinese/Korean or South Asian ethnic applicant, I dare you to apply to one without an SAT or ACT test.
A combination of all pass/fail and no standardized testing. What could possibly go wrong with having no standards at all?
Sure we’ll get “diversity, equity, and inclusion” but at the woeful price of everybody having zero competence at anything.
The world has lost its mind in so many ways.
But standardized tests really don’t say that much. Especially with how the SAT works, take it a bunch of times and only pay attention to the high scores. Some people are natural test takers, whether or not they know the subject, especially when it’s multiple choice. Then of course they renormalize the test every decade or so. What does an SAT score actually mean?
Grade inflation has done the same thing as P/F grading. The problem is that schools that hold the line against grade inflation wind up hurting their own students because few parties recognize that an A at a stringent-grading institution is a much different than an A from a school with lower standards.
Admit students by totally fair games of chance like blindfolded dart boards or roulette wheels.
The moron meter will hardly move because most students coming out of high school have much lower scores anyway
If you’re black, trans, homo, etc.....you’re in. Too bad for everyone else.
