The SAT subject tests are 1-hour tests distinct from the general SAT, on subjects such as precalculus, foreign languages, and the natural sciences. They were meant to test what is typically covered in a high school course, whereas Advanced Placement exams test the material in a freshman college course. I think it's too bad subject tests are going away, but standardized tests are politically incorrect nowadays because of their "disparities". White supremacists have cleverly engineered exams on which Asians get the highest scores on average /s.

It is a terrible thing to lose ones mind, or not have one at all. How true that is

After two more years of lockdown the test will just be submitting a video of yourself being able to get out of bed and shouting “Biden über alles!”

In most sane countries that are stupid enough to provide free education for their kids, they at least use tests to funnel the kids into the most appropriate level in order to maximize the benefit to their societies.
America is about to engage in the most stupidest educational program imaginable: send all kids to college for free regardless of whether or not they are prepared.
This is utter madness.

The SAT is a waste of time. There should be two questions:
Are you the child of a white liberal elites?
Are you the child of a “pet victim group” of white liberal ‘elites’?
Then academia should draw the ‘winning’ names out of a hat... Our children would be better off NOT attending these ‘higher propaganda’ factories.

The SAT will only judge race, ethnicity, gender and political affiliation.

Why not just simplify and just make the application consist of one question.

Can you spell dumming down?
The SAT was already in a steep downhill slide with all the changes that have been made in the last 15 years. After these latest “retooling efforts,” the test is truly worthless.

“The move comes as the testing industry has been battered by questions about equity...”
The test doesn’t produce the desired equitable results, which is the real reason it’s being dropped. Oddly there doesn’t seem to be the same concern when filling spots on a college’s basketball or football teams.

There is no need for the SAT. According to Kristen Clarke who will head the U.S. D.O.J. Civil Rights Division, intelligence is dependent on melanin. It therefore follows that the darker you are the smarter you are. The only test you need for admission is the darkness of your skin.

“Equity” boils down to “hey, stupid people need college degrees too!” And who could argue with that?
To: karpov
The SAT has been dumbed down so bad that a 1960’s elementary school child could ace it yet the average score today is below 1000 and falling still.

Ah—Blame the China Virus instead of the fact that public high schools aren’t teaching students anything.
Very convenient.

Why stop at the SAT? I am sure the LSAT and MCAT are tools of white supremacists too.
