I don't see how there can be any objective measure of academic attainment without there being standardized tests. Grades are too arbitrary & teachers are often incentivized to give higher ones for a variety of reasons (making themselves looking good, avoiding getting yelled at parents, sympathy, ect.). Plus I never bought into the, I'm smart, but a bad test taker type. If you really know the material you should be able to do well in testing (I mean, it is just multiple choice after all). It's like saying you are a good player because you are good in practice mode, but you have a losing record when playing online.
