Abstract

The article challenges common misconceptions about standardized admission tests, including claims of bias against specific groups, their lack of predictive validity, association with wealth, and the idea that removing them would lead to fairer admissions. It provides evidence to counter these claims and advocates for the continued use of standardized tests in the admissions process and certain racial/ethnic groups, that they do not predict academic outcomes.
