Standardized Tests Should standardized tests carry significant weight in the college admissions process, or are they just another number? The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinion. Supporters think the reason is that the SAT has proven to be a valid, fair, and reliable data tool for college admissions. And the opponents think that the SAT was originally conceived as an objective measure, but the objectivity has eroded, while the perceived importance of the test has grown. In my opinion, I am agree with the opponent. Because if the standardized test has its limited, actually we all want to signal to prospective students what we really care about. Some abilities we may couldn't know from the standardized test, such as creativity and imagination. In the future, we may can use some different tests to measure students.
