Why is no one responding to this? It seems like an important criticism to me. I don't know what this test is like, but if what it's looking at is, for instance, skills that can be easily prepped for if you have the bucks, but that are quickly forgotten and don't predict anything meaningful...well, I'd say that's problematic. Wouldn't you?
Whatever can be said about the SAT, it's been shown to predict college success pretty well, IIRC.
I had wonderful SAT scores and eventually gave up in college, resulting in C's, D's, and F's.
We really need to start giving scholarships to people who would actually benefit from them.
Some of this might have to do with coping and social skills deficits, which was apparently my problem.
