No shit? Standardized testing, while not perfect, is a standard set for all students. Rich or poor, they measure academic ability at a fairly simple level that removes the need to know specific things that may or may not be taught at some schools..it essentially acts as a pseudo IQ test.

Additionally, it's not like it's hard to get reading or study material. Most libraries have older ACT/SAT/etc. exam study books.

I got a high score on the ACT. Never studied for it once. On the GRE (grad school exam) I did study, but instead of spending $100+ on some expensive book I just... went to my local library and borrowed a few years old version. Did well on that exam, too.

Anyone who argues against standardized testing probably had a bad experience themselves. That speaks volumes about where they actually are intellectually. Even smart people I know who don't like the exam think it's necessary.

What about the "having standards is racist" crowd?

You really think those people scored high on the ACT/SAT?

yeah the idea that rich kids do better on tests bc they get personal tutors has always been absurd. You can get study guides for free these days, practice tests, etc. Sure it's not as good as a full private tutor but it's like 80% of the way there, for free.

It's just that these kids don't give a shit and their parents also don't give a shit. That's the difference. Nothing to do with money, everything to do with willpower.

Private tutors can't fix stupid though
