Standardized Tests Less Reliable as Predictor; But Grades Still Matter - Study

Bob Schaeffer, Director of FairTest: The National Center for Fair and Open Testing, shared something today that's important to note. (And, since his thoughts on the validity of standardized tests are always on the mark, we thought we'd pass it along.)

A study of students at the University of California campuses (done by a couple UC researchers) tells us that grades in high school are a more accurate predictor of collegiate performance than standardized tests.

BTW, nearly 740 schools are now "test optional."
