Sat Case

SAT can weaken a college application. If students were bad test takers then the SAT would ruin chances to many colleges. Most students are really smart but really bad test takers and most of the time wouldn't be able to pull the correct score they could be receiving, which would reflect there chances of getting into different colleges. A test shouldn't be weighed that much on an application as it causes stress, which doesn't allow students to fully function and do there best. In school students are able to be laid back and prepare where in the SAT students are told that this is there future, and with the amount of pressure most students end up messing up.

SAT isn't affordable for everyone, if someone is super rich they are able to afford classes and take the SAT many times, where as someone who doesn't have that much money wouldn't be able to properly prepare and have the same amount of chances that someone rich does. Most college applications let students chose individual scores so if someone were to spend $500 and take the test 10 times they would have a higher chance then the other student that only could pay for 1 test. Average student takes SAT at least 2-4 times.

SAT can't predict the future. SAT is worth a big portion of the college application. So basically if you do bad on your SAT you don't get into college? You wont be able to pursue your major because you didn't do well on the SAT. SAT can never measure determination and passion. A test shouldn't be worth that much because it's not able to measure details of people. Anything is possible to achieve if you set your mind to it, and when you force people to take a test that they don't want to take its obvious that the scores aren't going to come out correctly. Determination and passion are two key things that help people succeed and get jobs. If the SAT is going to cut people off and throw people out of the line because of a bad test score, then no one will have a mind of there own and everything will just be 1 simple chain.
