Standardized testing might be considered a stacked deck against some students I guess? In the case that more affluent schools have more/better resources to help teach students how to take those Standardized tests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida’s public universities will likely be adding one more standardized test to be used as an entrance exam, adding to the SAT and ACT tests that have been accepted for years. A committee of the state Board of Governors, meeting Wednesday at the University of South Florida in Tampa, approved the Classic Learning Test as an option for all 12 schools in the State University System. The public will have two weeks to comment on the move before the full board takes a final vote later this summer on whether to adopt the test. Classic Learning Test (CLT) – Alternative College Entrance Exam - Online The Classic Learning Test (CLT) offers an alternative college entrance exam and assessments for 7th-12th graders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it weighs more heavily on the student and their family. I think states & Federal Gov't should give vouchers and end the public school system. U.S. Public Education Spending Statistics [2023]: per Pupil + Total Find out how much the U.S. spends on public education and how the costs break down per student, by state and by level of government. My daughter goes to a college prep catholic high school and she is tutoring with an organization(Ray Dass) to help teach kids to take the SAT/ACT. The school is paying for most of it. Think in the Spring these tests will be online exclusively and the tests are now a 3 part grade instead of two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
