Can solve the doubt that they are biased zealots State of the Union, voters in Arizona last week banned the use of affirmative action in college admissions, because discrimination against whites.
But this survey ignore the fuzzy logic, voters, or remain ignorant of the ways the system has been distorted to university admissions for children, the rich, medium and White's advantage.
The SAT system is probably the most effective means for the playing field uneven. I know because I know the school, an average student of privilege, I made a little 'more than 1200 for the first time, but because my family could afford, has a class to prepare for the SAT, has developed a series of words, and with minimal effort to improve my score almost 200 points.
At night, I became an eligible private school elite, and of course, had nothing to do with my skills as a student or my intelligence.
rich kids have more access to education, training and assistance to books with lots of low-income and immigrant students to prepare and quite good. The Executive Board, the pseudo-non-profit organization promotes design and test preparation will not make any difference, but because the books to prepare for the SAT sells for $ 25 a pop?
The Committee would have us believe that the SAT is a good predictor of how test-takers will do in school. However, his research group shows a much more revenue maker test to predict their ability to do well in school, and SAT sample questions and format of minorities and women. These are not just excuses bitter college students at Eastern Illinois, because sleep locked verbal score of 420.
Fortunately, increased slowly away from SA in 2008, the National Association of College Admissions at the University, a report urges universities to test the validity of the results of the SAT before testing to assess their students.
And many universities have fallen more than 850 approvals SA or optional for applicants they get. Some of these schools have reported that the reduction of the SAT had a lively and diverse student impact.
An important factor in this change, the tireless efforts of the nonprofit National Center for Fair and Open Testing, the number of admissions deans, directors and other universities, the state recommended and was the main driver of the emphasis on standardized tests.
While the fair test campaigns and consultations have helped the university to make the transition, yet many schools require applicants to take the test, despite this evidence, it is basically a useless review.
