Most Asian Americans think SAT but not race is fair to consider for college admissions
LA TimesMost Asian American adults support use of the SAT and other standardized testing, along with high school grades, in college admission decisions but reject considering race or ethnicity to determine access, according to a new national survey released Wednesday. The AAPI Data/Associated Press-NORC survey is among the first to gauge Asian American attitudes on standardized testing and other metrics for college admissions, along with broader questions about the value of education. Others have said it’s harder to assess an applicant’s readiness for college work without standardized testing — especially because many educators have reported significant grade inflation since the pandemic. “How you actually perform in class and your extracurriculars are a better metric than one test that determines your entire future.” Ramakrishnan said there are several reasons why many Asian Americans support standardized testing.
