Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 3558133, member: 7597"] Count me in the "SATs are biased towards richer demographic" crowd. People with more money can afford more tutoring, prep books and other resources for their kids to take the test, first of all. Plus the content of the test itself is skewed towards a world viewpoint more often seen by wealthier people. Plus the aforementioned loopholes rich people can find, such as cheating, and being able to afford to take the test more often and thus, having a greater pool of results to choose from. Plus rich kids are more likely to be able to attend the best public schools or highly regarded private schools that will better prepare them for the test. SATs/ACT results absolutely should be diminished in their importance, a great deal. [/QUOTE]
