An alternative
route universities can take is to take into consideration is each of the
students’ academic history. They could weigh things such as what classes they
took and how difficult they were, or what extra-curricular activities the
students were involved in. Without these tests colleges could focus more on the
student as an individual. These tests don’t necessarily predict how the student
will do in college, but if the admissions offices would pay more attention to
four years of hard work each student has put in instead of the three hours of
filling in bubbles, they might get more successful and well-rounded students in
their universities ("Do Colleges Put Too Much Stock in Standardized Test
Scores?").
