NYTimes reports that colleges have been dropping standardized tests simply because the results produce disparities some are uncomfortable with. But lowered standards actually make things worse for everyone.
1/
By eliminating test score requirements, colleges are taking away the best predictor of future academic success.
2/
Test scores are much better than high school grades at predicting future success. By not using these scores, colleges are setting unprepared students up for failure.
Students with low scores that do get in will have a rough time in college.
4/
Students admitted without test scores do noticeably worse than others.
Why do many liberals deny these facts? Simply because they are expected to.
