No of course not. We’ll just ban it to level the playing field.

Lot of schools no longer put emphasis on SAT/ACT scores. So yeah that’s basically what they did.

The ironic thing is that standardized tests are the most objective metric we have. Things like extracurriculars reflect more on the parents and community than the kids.

I needed to work hard to get a very high SAT score because I'm a dummy. But I did it.

Some do for the SAT. Others work hard over years leading up to their SAT. Then there are others with financial reaources that can afford prep classes.
