How do people feel about colleges ditching admissions tests (SATs, ACT)?

100% on board. They don’t matter. Anecdotal, but instead of AP classes and standardized tests I took the CHSPE exam when I was 16. Graduated early and enrolled at the local community college. Took interesting classes, got college credit without the AP “college workload” lie, and never touched the SAT or ACT.

People don’t always test well, for a myriad of reason. Personally, I had a eye tracking issue that I spent years in vision therapy for that made scantrons an anxious hell for me. Nothing to do with my academic preparedness. A standardized test will never give you an accurate snapshot of someone readiness.
