Northridge, California – While more universities decide to make the College Board-administrated
SAT and ACT tests optional, academic leaders from both University of California (UC) and
California State University (Cal State) recently began studying how these standardized test scores
were used in the admissions process and whether they accurately served as valid predictors of
college success.
More than 1,000 universities and colleges no longer require the test results for admission. Critics
have argued that socially and economically disadvantaged students can barely afford any
expensive test preparation.
In fact, any change made by the University of California and California State University will
dramatically affect the American higher education landscape. The two systems educate more
than 72,000 students from every state in the country.
北嶺 加尼福尼亞州 — 正當更多的美國大學決定高中生申請入學時，可以不再提交SAT或者ACT成績，
加州大學和加州州立大學的領導，近日開始展開行動，研究這些標準考試的成績，如何在大學入學申請
的過程中被應用，以及這些考試的分數，是否忠實地成為個人在大學學習表現的有效指標。
超過一千所的美國大學，已經不再要求入學時提交兩項標考成績。評家一直以來都指出，來自社會和經
濟方面缺乏優勢的學生，根本就無力負擔升學補習的昂貴費用。
其實，加州大學和加州州立大學做出任何的決定，都將大幅度地改變美國的高等教育形勢。因為這兩個
高教系統，學生總數超過七萬兩千人，而且學生來自全國五十州。
