Fallout from the suggestion that the College Board vevise the U.S. based SAT I test includes the suggestion that the apptitude tests be scrapped altogether. "Every known test has proved extremely susceptible to coaching. That means students from affluent families can 'buy' a leg up that is unavailable to children from less wealthy homes. The result is that reliance on test scores of any type in admissions tilts the playing field even further against low-income and minority applicants.... A growing number of colleges -- now close to 400 -- do not force many of their applicants to submit test scores before being admitted.... True reformers should ask why any standardized test is still required for college admissions."CRLF
