The SAT and ACT are essentially worthless.

They should just give a couple of yes no questions and be done with it.

But we're all equal, right?
We all have the same IQ, right?

All this so that they don’t have to admit that most of the obama voters are stupid!

Regardless of test scores, if you have the ability to come up with the scratch some school somewhere will gladly take it.

"C" students really appreciate having these solid tests to determine which "A" students will work for them in the future...

On the one hand I wonder if this is more “dumbing down” of America. On the other, I’m wondering if maybe it is time to update the tests. Things change, especially in business and technology sectors.

When it becomes clear that fewer and fewer students can do well on the standardized tests that their parents also took, you simply change the tests.

And you have to have a reason for the change. It can’t be the teaching, nor the lack of the discipline in class necessary to teach receptive students, nor the hedonistic attitude of students today, not the lack of parental supervision.

So it must be the structure of the test which discriminates by class and race. The fact that the changes will essentially dumb down the test is not politically correct.
