Standardized tests like the SAT are better predictors of college success than high school GPA, yet we're dropping them. My nephew scored 1450 but has a 3.2 GPA because he works nights to help pay rent—his transcript hides that drive. GPA is inflated by easy courses and generous grading, while SAT scores offer a consistent yardstick across schools. Are we really going to trade fairness for a feel-good narrative?
