Story: Study Finds Little Benefit in New SAT
Laurence, quick question buddy. Why not just use the four years of high school grades? I guess you couldn't charge students $45 each -- and the students would save almost 4 hours of their time, not to mention the books, hours and hours of prep, and stress.
"The 3-hour, 45-minutes test is almost as good a predictor as four years of high school grades..." says Laurence Bunin, senior vice president of operations at the board, and general manager of the SAT program.
Let's just do away with these useless tests. Why do we need to predict how well kids will do anyway? If they want to go, let them experience it.
