“Score choice” — the policy of letting kids take standardized tests as many times as they want, send the highest scores to schools, and not tell the schools how many tries those scores took — is absurd on its face. How could the admissions process benefit from less information?
No other argument is needed, but still, why is no one on the left pointing out the “disparate impact” here? Poor and minority kids are less likely to be able to afford to pay the fees over and over, and more likely to need income from part-time jobs (which they forgo each time they take a day off for testing).
