SAT at WAR

When American high school students take an SAT that is an hour longer than it used to be, and that includes a writing test many top colleges ignore, Richard Atkinson may be the man they have to thank.

Atkinson is the former president of the University of California. When he announced in 2001 that he was recommending that the university system stop requiring the SAT of applicants, he got the attention of the College Board in a way that other critics of the test never could. The prospect of losing all of those University of California applicants led to all kinds of changes in the SAT (and succeeded in keeping the university among the institutions requiring the test).

Isnt it interesting that there are those fighting to uphold a test when the test has been done away-with by over 800 academic institutions! Below is the link to a listing of the schools that do not require ACT/SAT testing for admission.
