Colleges Are Waiving SAT and ACT Requirements

> More than two dozen — from highly selective liberal arts colleges like Williams and Amherst, both in Massachusetts, to California’s public universities — announced this spring that the tests would be optional for applicants seeking to enroll in 2021. Some even went further than that.

> The easing of test requirements comes as education reform groups have criticized the SAT and ACT, which they contend give wealthier students an advantage because their families can afford expensive prep exams and coaches.

What's their endgame?

More paypigs

Continue their quest of ruining Academia to the point where established """science""" can no longer be questioned

More debt slaves working low wage jobs and tied down.

t. no debt chad

i support this. standardized testing is stupid. being under pressure doesnt show your intelligence.

i scored 700-730 on multiple gmat practice tests under test conditions, yet when under pressure--me, (and many I know) can not do even nearly as well.

standardized testing is a monopolistic money grab and scam.

How do you mean?

How about IQ tests?

even more niggers. Just be black at some bumfuck school and get B/C average, congratulations, you get to go to college on a free ride!

GRE is a more forgiving exam and a lot of business schools have started accepting it.

With the GMAT if you perform poorly in the first 10 questions and get perfect on the next 40 questions your score could be below 700. The test is very sensitive to how you perform very early on.

This shit pisses me off. Yesterday, for my telecommunications course, the professor sent out exams and gave us 2 hours to complete and return them. 2 hour deadline comes up, some Mexican dude swings into the chat and asks for more time. Professor tells everyone to go ahead and take their time, that he'll be flexible, after practically everyone but this one fucker already turned their shit in because they respected the deadline. They don't just lower the standards for everyone, instead they just pass along the retards so they all get C's, and everyone else is still expected to work hard. All this is going to do is put more minorities into the fast track for management positions across all the STEM (or fucking STEAM) fields. I'm tired of people being rewarded for failing.

i did zero prep and got above 2000. you just have to be literate, seriously. if you can't read a novel or something you won't be able to do the english section, so this just appeases retarded kids with zero reading comprehension. also college as an institution is completely dead so who cares. universities are a bad joke at this point.

iq tests, if given when young and naiive, are the best indicators of intelligence. i find that if you know what you're taking, (i.e. an older person being tested) you're more likely to get an inaccurate reading-- or at least more variance in tests.

this doesnt mean youll be a good student, though.

Dumbing down the population.

the world needs more wogs taking university places that would normally go to high achieving white people

meh I took an IQ test when I was 6 and told the therapist to stop asking me questions I already knew the answer to.

He asked me "what is a chair?" and I told him he's sitting on one and walked out.

>All this is going to do is put more minorities into the fast track for management positions across all the STEM (or fucking STEAM) fields
Wrong. What's going to happen (and what's already happening) is that college is just going to be high school 2.0. Everyone is going to go to college, get a bachelor's degree, and it'll be easy as shit because the standards are so low. Then people who are actually smart and capable will go on to get a master's/doctorate and they'll get all the high-paying jobs and the cycle will start again by lowering the bar for the next step.

don't worry, user.
a system like this can't go on forever.
at some point it will collapse and all those subhumans won't be able to escape from reality: that they are useless subhumans.

Colleges are doing away with the pretense that they're not running a for-profit model and they're pushing debt on anyone they can. If anyone tries to call them out on this, they can just say that they're pro-diversity and hide behind leftist talking points.

This is actually a pretty good analogue for most of politics today. The rich ruin everyone else's earning potential, and hide profit behind diversity.

You wish, and I wish too, but we're importing those people straight from India. At best, they get their undergrad and masters for pennies compared to Americans and finish their PhD in America.

>people who are actually smart and capable will go on to get a master's/doctorate and they'll get all the high-paying jobs
But they'll be competing with foreign students for a limited number of good jobs.

If you cant score at least 1000 in the sat you're retarded. ACT is more hard so it should be kept

The SAT is a very good intelligence test, and thus is naturally biased against niggers, because they are not smart. Prep courses do not help, only exposure to the material does, which used to be cheap and is currently completely free.

Lmao. Should've asked for more time before

read my fucking argument before posting some straw man shit. i went o an ivy, i made a good score.

that's not the point. the point is that they dont measure shit, and they put kids (yes kids, people take this from 15-18) from a lower income household at a disadvantage--yet call it STANDARDIZED testing?

The ability to operate under pressure is an important attribute. What good does intellect do if you can't apply it when you need to?

Doesn't really matter now.

Grad school in NA is essentially a pipeline to be able to buy Canadian or American citizenship and get access to the NA job market. All these Ph.D.'s and they are essentially useless. Virtually none have any intention of actually working in their field. For most they want a few years doing some software development related to their field (because the work is easy, they can claim they're being "practical" and no one ever really fails) and then gun for a management position. And they often get it because existing management is dazzled by the fake doctorate.

Then they just start hiring more people from their country and the company goes to shit. I've seen this happen over and over in STEM companies.

Cambridge really wants a good football team I guess.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Can't these feces-colored subhumans at least dress properly?

Wow. This whole shit about less "priviledge" people being more stupid because of their environment is a fucking meme. I went to a shitty school in LA well below the fucking poverty line. I took the SAT when I was 16 without fucking studying yet did better than the majority of my school. It should be kept because it actually treats everyone equal

I didn't need more time, I earned my A. Point is, the professor shouldn't shift his standards on a per idiot basis, it isn't fair on the people that actually try to earn their successes

He must've had some bars

We're already here. The salaries for law school graduates have already declined. If you don't graduate from Harvard/Stanford/Yale/Columbia your chances of making decent money as a lawyer is pretty low.

youre an idiot. try taking an actually hard exam like the gmat. go ahead, go to mba.com and take a practice gmat for free.

GUARANTEE you make below the average score.

fucking retard, youre really trying to say seeing material doesnt help a student? fucking kill yourself.

my point is, that operating under pressure shouldnt be used to test intelligence. at what point in school will you be under the type of pressure the gmat puts on you? NEVER. inb4 stressful business situation-- that never happens either.

A good chunk of those "gangster" rappers from the 90's and the rappers from the 80's came out of arts schools.
Don't believe the image, most of them are rather educated.

>my point is, that operating under pressure shouldnt be used to test intelligence.
Why? If it's hard to think, that means you're not as smart.
>at what point in school will you be under the type of pressure the gmat puts on you?
Literally every mid term or finals or any public speaking event or any job interview or sales pitch or work report.
