That there is fucked up. I suppose we signed our rights away before taking the test then.
Can you opt out? (not an American)
The test are not mandatory to graduate high school, but most colleges require an SAT or some equivalent to get past the application. The SAT is falling out of favor though.
After hearing this info, thank God it's falling out of favor.
Well, it's being replaced with individual placement testing. It's not exactly much better, though the insane format being gone is probably an improvement.
At this point, even something the tiniest smidge better is okay with me so long as the SAT dies.
