standardized tests are best available method (at scale) because they're at least fair and transparent. Transparent, maybe. Fair? As noted above, test success is largely a measure of a student's access to resources and parental support. And the usual retort to that assertion is that study books are free at the library, to which I'd respond "if it's that easy, what is the test really measuring?" Anyways, the main discussion was the insane number of admin staff on campus. Admissions staff is only a small slice of that.

Internet and that's not very high bar. I've personally mostly used it when preparing for math exams. >to which I'd respond "if it's that easy, what is the test really measuring?" Access to informations at the level of those tests isn't difficult. What's being measured? how proficient you are at tested topics, how good your knowledge is. >Transparent, maybe. Fair?
