Regardless of the content, a test filters for people willing to put in the work to pass. All else being equal, given two candidates, where one has passed a test

Regardless of the content, a test filters for people willing to put in the work to pass. All else being equal, given two candidates, where one has passed a test and another one who didn't bother, the first one sends a stronger signal to the potential employer.
It's still worth discussing if the particular test is ideal, but the answer IMO is not to say let's remove tests in general.
- WalterBright 3mo agoRight on. Instead of complaining about the test, he did what was necessary to ace it. He's the kind of person I'd want to hire.
- collingreen 3mo agoIs that what the sat is supposed to measure, in your opinion? Do you worry that would heavily skew toward people who didn't have to work over people who didn't have as much available time to train to a particular test? Does that even matter?
