I'm sorry... no. The pandemic also messed with ... grading. Why is a one day exam considered enough of a danger to merit ignoring it, while mandating continued schooling? Many disadvantaged students obviously were going to be more disadvantaged with online schooling. We could have easily found ways to administer tests safely (outdoors, fewer people in larger, well-ventilated buildings, etc). No... no attempts were made to even encourage that, realizing that making this opportunity available would mean more disadvantaged kids able to attend these schools.

I could do it in a weekend... > outdoors That's much easier said than done in many parts of the country. > realizing that making this opportunity available would mean more disadvantaged kids able to attend these schools. Sooooo... why are they stopping then? Have you considered the possibility that maybe during a global pandemic, with all kinds of terrible crap happening, administering the SAT wasn't a very high social priority, and it was easier for everyone just to skip it?
