Whether you take the UC test or not, you're still being assessed.

Exactly, and it's not up to College Board to determine what the Board of Regents decides that it will accept as proof, either.

If the SAT proves unworthy as a tool, UC will simply ignore it and require everyone to sit the UC exam, which is what happened back when there was no essay.
