Scholastic Aptitude Test

Re “Retire the Scholastic Aptitude Test,” Commentary, Dec. 4:

I would like to thank Lee A. Coffin for publicly stating what I have felt all along, that standardized tests do not do a good job of measuring academic achievement in the classroom and that they are biased against poor and minority students. Why can’t the College Board abandon the SAT altogether? Haven’t the members of the College Board got anything better to do with their time than make the lives of high school juniors and seniors miserable?
