This is a great way to improve affirmative action. All of a sudden, test results appear not valid enough to be considered for admission. "There must be something wrong with this year's test so we'll just have to look for other factors to admit this year's freshman class."

Actually that wouldn't be all that bad. I know too many youngsters who place too much value on these tests and scores. One I knew asked me about jobs in the adult world and I told him in most cases nobody would ever ask them about their SATs every again after college selection.

The result wasn't what I expected: it was akin to panic! I think too many students identify being intelligent with doing well on the tests. When you tell them nobody cares about the tests, they don't take it very well.

It's the single most important thing validating their view of themselves. Not good, not good at all.
