Without such a test, it would prove difficult to compare students coming from educational backgrounds as disparate as home school and public school, private and magnet, charter and international. The SAT plays much too large a role in today’s admissions process for it to be eliminated entirely. The recent findings should serve as a springboard for further research and inquiry into reforming the SAT or, should that fail, replacing it with an entirely...
