I personally only got into a good college due to a high SAT score, but we can definitely find a better way to do this than reducing people to 1/2 days of testing and inflated grades, while ignoring the actual person and life they lived.

Well I agree that more work needs to be done to make sure that you can't take something like the SAT and just buy your way into a better school though practice, I'm curious how you would quantify "actual person and the life they've lived" such that you can objectively compare two different people.

Like, in spirit the purpose of standardized testing is to measure somebody's readiness to minimize the number of people who go into college and then bomb out. Which aspects of a person do you feel best represent the qualities that make someone a good candidate for a good school and how do you compare them?
