The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) is unequal because of the documented inequalities of testing ability and family income. It should be abolished.
The test taking ability drops scores of some students who are lack of test taking abilities. William C. Hiss, a former dean of admission at Bates College, and his assistant Valerie W. Franks, released a report to show students with low SAT scores and good GPA do well in college, but students with high SAT scores and weaker GPA do less well in college.
The SAT is close connected with family income, which means the wealthier students can have extra tutoring classes, extra exercises and other things that the low-income family can not afford.
850 colleges and universities have made the SAT optional.
