But isn't exclusion one of the goals of these standardized tests? To "weed out" those who can't afford to and/or don't know how to get such high scores? If anyone could attain a high score on the SAT, SAT II, and ACT tests, ivy league schools might need to come up with another way to determine whether or not applicants come from wealthy homes.
