Is it time to kill the SAT?
Sorry for the sparse posting recently. The storm knocked out power at my house for four days and then I have been traveling for my sister’s wedding since late last week.
But today, we’re back at it.
In the New York Times yesterday an influential higher education panel says standardized testing should be dumped as a qualification for college admission. The group had some strong words about the SAT.
I think this is a step in the right direction. The SAT is misunderstood to be an intelligence test and misused that way. but it does not measure intelligence. There are plenty of other, better measures for judging students for admission.
