The National Association for College Admissions Counseling issued a new report on Standardized testing. It's worth a read. In short the report issues a call for colleges to rethink how they are using test and the reliance placed on tests. https://lnkd.in/gXvZSeK 
Let me just highlight some of my favorite bits ... starting with this ...
True to form @CollegeBoard doesn't provide data in a timely or transparent manner despite protestations to the contrary. What's college board hiding that it fights so hard to avoid sharing data (that it cant sell)?

This isn't isolated.. remember the @paultough book https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/just-visiting/guest-post-years-matter-most

(and yup, i'm exempting ACT here because they have a track record that earns them some consideration)
stopped just short of calling the #SAT and #ACT anachronistic .. which it should have... these tests are assessing students of the future with tools of the past.
I really hope this is true. We need to destroy the fiction that the tests are standardized.
LOL. This is the higher ed version of either "I know you are but what am I" or "i'm rubber and you're glue"
yes... call out the industry for using the work of counselors and the money and data of students to benefit @collegeboard and colleges.

High Schools Turn the Wheels of the Standardized-Testing Process. Covid-19 Is Complicating That.

The tests used for college admission in the united states are standardized in the same way that MLB fields are standardized (meaning standardized in theory but not in practice)
