I'm not against standardized tests. What I am against is a test ran by a private company as a barrier of entry into a public institution. Private schools who want to require SAT/ACT, fine, they are private institutions, I see no issue them requiring a test administered by a private company. University of North Carolina, eh, can't we have a test ran by a public institution as a barrier of entry into a public institution?
I can see this argument. You’d also hope that graduation from one of our high schools and the motivation to apply was enough to demonstrate preparedness for college. While private run tests have their drawbacks, a publicly run exam has its own, and we have examples of that too. It isn’t easy to fix unfortunately.
