Read the new FairTest report: Why College Admissions Should Remain Test Optional/Test Free. We compile the arguments and research in one handy place. And we respond to the NYTimes counter narrative. #TestOptional #CollegeAdmissions #SAT #ACT#FairTest

Does proving the test "achievement gap" get us better more equitable education? In funding suits test scores miss the point. Focusing on inputs and outcomes rooted in students’ civic, social and economic flourishing provide greater educational benefit. ow.ly/okAK50ZUwGn
Student learning can't happen without community trust in schools. The best policies will fail without mutual assent of families, students and educators. Read our paper on community trust as first principle of accountability. #communitytrust #accountability

FairTest is proud to be part of a new effort to remake educational accountability after 30 years of diminishing returns. We need accountability that works for learning that matters. Read the “tentpole” papers at ow.ly/ZepB50ZTxf8.

Eric Hoover on Jesse Rothstein's FAQ regarding arguments for bringing back the SAT at UC. Sorry Prof. Stankova but kids at poorer performing schools don't have a better chance of getting into Berkeley and UCLA. But I guess you teach Calc not Prob/Stat.

Berkeley Professor Jesse Rothstein has provided DATA confirming the campaign to bring back admissions tests to the UC is a PR hoax. NO EVIDENCE that the SAT will fix any academic issues or that test free policies have been harmful to student achievement.

Forbes article captures true admissions testing landscape: 90% not required. Let's not convince kids they must ace the SAT for a rich empowering college experience. There is a world beyond Dartmouth. And the College Board.

Testing companies in pissing match. FairTest comment at the end. A pox on both their houses! Why are we reducing student achievement to a single poor high stakes instrument? This is bad ed policy.

The SAT/ACT have nothing to do with math preparedness on UC campuses. GPA, retention and grad rates steady since UC went test free. Believe the data not the "vibes" of a loud sliver of faculty. Support don't just sort based on race and income.

Let's not assume the trend is to requiring admissions tests for college again. Over 90% of schools still test optional or free: a rational, effective and just policy, esp. for publics. A thorough Higher Ed Dive article. #TestOptional #CollegeAdmissions
