New York-About one fifth of US college and universities don't require the standard entrance exams, known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)(學(xué)業(yè)能力傾向測試) and American College Test (ACCT), for many high school applicants(申請者).
Fair Test, a Cambridge, Massachusetts group that supports less trust on testing, said last week it counted 383 out of 1,788 four-year schools that don't want entrance exams at all.
The last Fair Test court managed three ago proved 280 schools that don't require entrance tests. The total rose for two reasons: More college dropped the exams, and the other clarify(澄清) their admission rules.
The Fair Teat survey follows last month's call from the University of California to end the SAT admission requirement. President Richard Atkinson wants students judged by want they have learned, not how they have scored.
Last summer, the elite(優(yōu)秀人才) women's school, Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, declared applicants no longer need submit(呈交) scores from the SAT test of reasoning.
Some high schools also are questioning the roles of admission test. Still the exams aren't going away. Even as some colleges give up entrance tests, others are using or replacing them. Some are giving scores less weight, asking instead for essay(論文), references and out-of-school activities.
The non-profit(非贏利的) College Broad, which owns the SAT, notes the majority of colleges and universities still demand a test score for applicants. The SAT and ACT were established decades ago by colleges and universities as a way of. predicting(預(yù)告) a student's success.
Critics(批評家) have long attacked the test as unfair, mainly because whites tend to do better than other groups.
