Big Academia likes costly textbooks (with low buyback pricing), monopolized testing, and ever rising tuitions (even with billions in endowment funds).

Perhaps we could have a nationwide entrance exam acceptable to most or all universities. It would test the students' preparation for and likelihood to succeed in achieving a Bachelor's Degree.

We might call it the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Sure it will. Dumbing down the de facto "entrance exam" SATs didn't accomplish the desired social engineering.

And don't forget how "race norming" on exams works so well, too. /sarc

When college tuition is free (or nearly so) entrance exams are the only fair way to fill the limited number of available seats.
