Dont agree. Need to prepare students for standardized; students will take them in College, Medical School entrance exams, Graduate school. Wasn't there a report that US students are declining academically
What about those students that were able to afford tutors to boost their GPA in highschool…
These higher income still had an advantage…
Basically everything said to defend dropping the SATs in this video is a lie or cherry picking data. Dropping standardized testing has only one goal, to decrease Asian admissions and to increase URM admissions. It’s simply another way to erode meritocracy in the US following the liberal left agenda.
I really feel this is a better way to do things. I think it will give more kids the opportunity to go to college. (Affording it is another matter.)
Gee, that's an easy one to answer! Test-free admissions will 100% ensure that underprivileged morons get to learn while hard-working Asians have to go elsewhere. Plain and simple.
Is there a way ahead for the land of the school shootings that made the Kardashians famous?
Because of diversity. The highest scores get Asians, then Whiie. Black students are below average.
They want the dumb kids from rich families to go to their school. MIC DROP.
(Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy and he who has ears to hear let him hear and blessed is he who understands.)
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.
“And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”
Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 8 to 11.

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

“knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.
“in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.

This is because fewer students are enrolling to these institutions. They want to enrol more students so they can keep getting money.
Nah this will lead to financial entrapment for people who normally wouldn't make it into college on their own merit.
The tests prove what we already know. Some races are smarter than others. Instead of recognizing this they just say the test is racist.
I went to USC as a transfer from community college. My GPA was high, but I couldn’t afford SAT prep and it hurt me.
higher education, in pursuant of the person
North Korea launched a satellite yesterday that has successfully entered an orbit. It chose people who would have excelled at SAT and put them in this endeavor. There were no other options for the regime because North Korea is a poor country and failure meant literal failure. There was no second or third chances for them. Students who get higher SAT scores are not better people. But they are better at putting a satellite in an orbit with limited resources. Oh, they are also better at coming up with radical ideas such as the raw of gravity, relativity theory, personal computer, and CRISPR. Looks like you need high-SAT nerds to make progress after all.
I took SAT for UMass Dartmouth but very low due to unmedicated and Undiagnosed ADHD and Dyslexia at that time but I got 2.3+ Cumulative GPA during graduation.
Because you don't need to be smart or informed to be indoctrinated?
I hear it works better if you are neither.
If you ask me, which you are because of the video, they are getting rid of these tests because students are realizing that degree they pay 1/2 a million dollars for isn't worth a 1/4 of that, the students ain't getting ready for college. Frankly it's cheaper not to go to school. Colleges are dropping the tests because they need all the students they can git. Eventually they won't have an admissions office. When I was going to junior college another work study student told me the university would except me for the money alone. He was right. I ain't never got no SAT or ACT Test done. I wish I hadn't gone to school.
Yes, everyone can become a Doctor
I wish I didn't have to take the SAT back then!
