A couple things people are missing with this:
1. Test optional - Students can still submit SAT and ACT scores. So if you get a perfect score you can, and probably should, submit your test score and it will look good and the admission committee will weigh that.
2. The issue with standardized tests is not if the SAT or ACT is objective or not. The issue is what those tests objectively measure. Ends up mostly family income and, well, ones ability to take standardized tests. It is like the 40 yard dash in football. Everyone obsesses about it as an objective measure, but it doesn’t really mean too much one way or another as it pertains to football.
As an aside, has anyone gone back and tried taking a sample SAT test? If you have not exposed yourself to the unique framing of standardized test questions in awhile it is quite jarring if you are not used to it.
