Cartoon: SATisfactory scores?

Shiyo Ohashi, Staff Writer • April 1, 2024

We all know the story: the SATs are unfair. Standardized testing gives an advantage to well-off families who can afford the best tutors for their children. Due to this disparity, colleges have turned to test-optional policies. However, new studies show that SAT scores do not hurt diversity. For some, the SAT is a crucial stepping stone out of poverty and into the world of higher education. The SAT shows trends in intelligence and hard work, helping predict students’ success in college. The SAT is less about how much money you spend and more a reflection of your effort and character and should remain a factor in the college selection process. (Shiyo Ohashi)
