University of California Will Stop Using SAT, ACT
I know some people protest measures that are considered more &quot;objective&quot; over measures that are more &quot;holistic&quot;, whether this is in school admittance, performance evaluation, promotion consideration, interviewing, determining welfare benefits, choosing who makes the rules and governs.<p>However it has been my experience that whenever an explicit test or hierarchy is removed another shadow one builds up that is more subjective, more biased, and more subject to abuse.<p>Sure the SAT&#x2F;ACT does favor students whose parents had enough money to afford private tutors, but it also meant that if I didn&#x27;t have a private tutor if I could get a perfect score my chances increase. Now it changes to the whims of the interviewer, the committee that ranks my &quot;holistic&quot; experience, etc.
