Advance for SAT-Optional Movement

Original Article

There are ways to measure the ability. SAT failed to measure it. However, this doesn't mean it can't be done. The major problem of Grade is that they are standards with no standards.

I, in general, believe in objective measurements. I, however, disappointed by the response of Ms. Scoropanos. For one, ignoring what happened is just not right. For two, to support her statement, she should have provide her supporting material.

"The conclusion the admissions team came to was that high school grades in strong math and science courses in high school were the key factor, not test scores." What this mean to me is that there are ways to measure the ability. And if SAT failed to measure it, they must didn't employed the right measurements. However, this doesn't mean it can't be done.

The major problem of Grade are that they are standards with no standards. And I would like to see anyone that oppose the objective measurements to provide a solution to resolve the standards of no standards problem.
