University of California system to drop SAT, ACT scores from admissions officially

Clown world
Dropping standardized test scores from admissions because you think certain minority groups are too unintelligent to score well on them is blatant racism.
How can anyone defend this?
This is so unfair to the high school kids who are of a more academic/scholarly bent.
Now you are going to have even more people who are just not very smart but are “well-rounded” going to schools they have no business going to
It’s an inefficient allocation of young minds.

The only thing that will be used in admissions now is racial quotas.

I think we're all aware of the flaws and biases of standardized tests.

I've never been wild about standardized testing as a measure of college readiness, but I see where it's necessary especially coming from NOLA where schools vary so widely. Yea...more I think about it...this is fricking dumb

Hope all those graduates from Berkeley cashed in on a career with their degrees while it's still valuable.

Expect an influx of EBRP public school grads to cali soon.

So what are admissions based on? Just gpa and extracurricular shite?

They’ll have to do away with grading to keep them in school. I suppose Cal will now award participation degrees.

Not so much racism, but the fact that they were paywalls for years and don't test for aptitude at all.

So to get admitted to a University of California college you have to have the COVID-19 vaccine, but don’t have to have a ACT/SAT score 
what a time to be alive!

To offset that, they’re going to go full throttle “who do you know” admissions

Maybe the scores should be dropped because apparently it's not a "standardized" test anymore. Kids with learning disabilities can get extra time to take the test. I guess their parents think when they enter the workforce employers will have to give them extra time to complete tasks as well.

The way extended time is administered is an important factor to consider for students with ADHD. On the SAT, students have extended time for each section, and when finished, must wait until the full time is up for that section before moving on to the next section. This can be very frustrating for students with ADHD who cannot sit quietly for extended periods of time. It also can cause fatigue, because the student is taking the last section of the test approximately 3½ hours from the time he started. The SAT extended time testing lasts 4 hours, 30 minutes without the optional essay. For students needing 100% extended time, the test is administered in the student’s home school over two days. The total time for 100% extended time is 6 hours.
On the ACT, the extended time testing is self-paced, which is a better option for most students with ADHD. The student can use his extended time in the way that benefits him best. He can spend double time on the math section, for example, and use the equivalent of standard time for the Reading section. If the student finishes in less than the 5 hours, he still has to sit, but at least he doesn’t have to gear up again to do more testing.

How many times have you been divorced? Same principle. Some people don’t test well. Some don’t marry well.

More and more evidence is emerging that college is a total waste of time and money for most people. What a racket.
