Dont these guys know that the same “pricey test preparation” books are available at the library for free?
Excellence and intelligence are racist.
Is all this because Lori and her husband got caught?
They wanted their daughter to attend USC, which is a private university.
The white-Asian gap in math is seems larger than usual. I would expect the Asians to score higher, but not 15-20 points higher.
If California can devise a real test that somehow erases racial gaps in academic achievement, every jurisdiction in the country will adopt it. That's been the holy grail of both the testing industry and educational complex for at least 60 years. Good luck squaring the circle.
ABC had an anniversary show, 25th, maybe, for the Wide World of Sports.
They invited that guy. He couldn’t believe his “agony of defeat” clip was shown every week for years.
Agony of Defeat skier....
That guy should be thankful he didn’t have to apply for residence in four zip codes for various parts that flew off.
I'm talking about the 1970s...
And a high school that might have, what, five copies for a graduation class of 100...
Of teenagers who don't know what "return by" means?

As Dr Lexus said, "My first wife's a tard and she's a pilot."
Can’t remember if he was Norwegian or a Finn.
After he slammed his head and turned end over end twice, neither can he.
Thas rasis!
Coddling and pandering to failing students only delays the moment when they actually have to face a consequence for not working hard. Passing failing students up to the next grade is what creates these “aspiring college students” who don’t know the material from high school, can’t perform on standardized tests, and need remedial education when they are nevertheless passed into college.
Those students will never learn to work hard for results while the rewards (passing, high school diplomas, college offers, etc) are just given to them. Failing grades should be a signal to work harder but libs have turned them into proof of white oppression.
Some years ago I was preparing for the GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test). I purchased a couple of prep guides and two Schaum outlines, one on solving word problems; the other on English grammar. I did reasonable well. The total cost for those prep books was about $100.00
It seems reasonable that high schools could purchase a dozen or so of the prep guides each year. However, students need to be warned: good scores require a good academic background and a willingness to spend 2 or 3 hours a day for a couple of months working through those prep guides.
A lot of white and Asian kids won’t be going to the college of their choice after working their asses off to master the curriculum in their classes. The race question on the application will become even more important now that these tests are being kicked to the curb.
I never paid one penny for my B.S. or my other degrees. While most of my friends were having fun, I was hitting the books. The fact that I’m white (and poor) had nothing to do with my success. I spent many nights studying until till I passed out. I earned my way by hard work. My first engineering class had 45 students. Five of us took the final, and the grades were A, B, C, D, and F. I made an A, because I worked my a$$ off. I went to see my professor during the semester, because I had trouble with a problem. I showed him my work, and he laughed at me. He called his friens
Requiring a college placement test - instead of SAT/ACT scores - is a good idea.
A low SAT or ACT score (or no SAT/ACT score) doesn’t mean a student won’t do well in college.
Just hope colleges continue to accept SAT/ACT scores as optional and in qualifying for scholarships.
In the meantime, why do the Left and the Right go on and on about “race”? It’s long past time to consider every U.S. citizen an individual. Leftists are all about group status. No one here should be.
no SAT, ACT then no college loan money.
It’s hard not to with this issue when colleges give preferential treatment to certain races over the other.
