> The article is making the claim that the test is already pretty worthless to colleges as a filter I'm not convinced this is true. A few years after the writing section was introduced, college admissions were refusing to use it on the grounds that it didn't seem to correlate with any future performance (overall grades, English grades, foreign language grades, graduation rate, etc). Presumably they wouldn't be saying this if the rest of the test also failed to predict anything.
