Check out the two sides to the college admission testing story:
THE ACT AND SAT GET A FAILING GRADE
Measure only limited subject matter, not the whole student
Racial and socio-economic biases exist, especially with regard to test prep
Many students suffer from test anxiety or other factors that influence scores
A student's potential for success in college should be based on more than a test score
Better indicator of a family's socio-economic status than a student's intelligence
main argument
THE ACT AND SAT GET A PASSING GRADE
Tests are the only consistent method of comparing students from different schools and geographical regions
Put students on an even playing field
