What can a college admissions officer safely predict about the future of a 17-year-old? Or are there better ways of measuring abililty and promise? Are the best and the brightest students the ones who can check off the most correct boxes on a multiple-choice exam?
SAT Wars presents a roadmap for rethinking college admissions that moves us past the statistically weak and socially diverse SAT/ACT. In this penetrating and revealing look at high-stakes standardized admissions tests, Joseph Soares demonstrates the far-reaching and mostly negative impact of the tests on American life and calls for nothing less than a national policy change. The author calls for evaluation tools with a greater focus on what youth actually accomplish in high school as a more reliable indicator of qualities that really matter in one's life and to one's ability to contribute to society.
