Some psychologists, education experts, and schools are rightly calling for colleges to stop using the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) to evaluate applicants for admission.This test was designed to measure and predict an individual's potential for success in college.Many argue, though, that the test fails at this task.It does not assess knowledge of specific concepts or skills.Therefore, it does not allow a student to demonstrate his or her ability to master course work.Furthermore, many experts argue that colleges who consider SAT scores tend to overlook other indicators of an individual's strengths and potential.Admissions officers claim they need the SAT as a common yardstick for evaluating applicants from a wide variety of schools.They also say it's more expensive and time-consuming to assess applicants without the SAT.However, many are now saying that a fairer and more accurate evaluation of an individual relies less on a test score and more on a thorough review of that applicant's academic performance and extracurricular activities.A growing body of research suggests that grades in school, not grades on the SAT, are the best predictor of academic success.
