[Keep 'em dumb!...] Largest university system in US eliminates standardized testing requirement

The largest four-year university system in the United States has removed
SAT and ACT scores from its application requirements, marking a
significant shift in the national discussion to eliminate standardized
testing from admissions decisions.

Removing the requirement will “level the playing field” for all students,
acting Chancellor Steve Relyea argued after the California State
University’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted Wednesday to scrap
standardized testing. The move will diversify the school system’s student
body by removing obstacles that often hinder some prospective students
from applying, the board said.

“In essence, we are eliminating our reliance on a high-stress, high-stakes
test that has shown negligible benefit and providing our applicants with
greater opportunities to demonstrate their drive, talents, and potential
for college success,” Relyea said in a statement.

The California State University has utilized a “test-free” admissions
system for the last two academic years “in response to the pandemic and
other factors challenging students and families today.“

In lieu of standardized testing, the board of trustees said it would
utilize a set of “multi-factored admission criteria” to admit prospective
students, such as their high school GPA, extracurricular involvement, and
household income.

In January, CSU’s Admission Advisory Council recommended the
discontinuation of standardized testing in its applications after it found
“SAT and ACT tests provide negligible additional value to the CSU
admission process.”

But discussions of dropping the testing requirement began years ago, the
university said. A temporary pause in the testing requirement was enacted
in March 2020, followed by a spring 2021 review of the efficacy of making
the pause permanent.

In 2019, College Board, the nonprofit organization behind the SATs,
announced plans to introduce an ”adversity score” to address ”the
disparities of wealth reflected in the SAT,” but the proposal was scrapped
months later.

Roughly 1.5 million students in the class of 2021 took the SATs, and just
under 1.3 million students took the ACTs last year. Both figures were
considerable drops from pre-pandemic levels.

College enrollments are down nationally. They're telling the world they'll take
your money even if you're not qualified.

"SAT scores are strongly predictive of college performance-students with
higher SAT scores are more likely
to have higher grades in college."

"Across all demographic groups with one exception, at
the two highest levels of success (i.e., FGPAs greater
than or equal to 3.5 and 3.75), the SAT was an equally
effective or a slightly better predictor of college
success than HSGPA. For the least selective colleges,
HSGPA was a slightly better predictor at the 3.5 level.
The difference was most noticeable for the African
American subgroup (i.e., at the 3.5 level the SAT had a
94.8 accuracy rate, compared to 79.7 for HSGPA). "

"SAT verbal and mathematical reasoning scores
both predict cumulative college grades. The average
correlation for high school records is slightly higher
than that for the best combination of SAT V and M, a
finding that has been observed many times in the past
(Ramist, 1984; Wilson, 1983). The combination of the
SAT score and high school record has the highest correlation observed. "
