Don't know what to think of this, would like to hear pros and cons and everybody's opinion on this.

Makes perfect sense to me. These test do favor wealthy and non-disabled. They are not friends to people of color, the lower classes, and the disabled. Most people I know who did well on them were just excellent test takers and figured out their system. I mean you get points for putting your name on the test! Come on. I wouldn't be sad of these tests went away permanently everywhere.

I think it's great!
I am not a great test taker, but was in a class that taught students the specific breakdowns on the categories and questions in each section of the test, how to read in to the ways the questions were phrased, and other tips and tricks that definitely helped me score higher than I would have otherwise. Not everyone gets those classes.
I really can't think of any cons to this.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what is going on with all the dots since the original message had content and the message doesn't show that it has been edited. I am considering just restoring the original post.

It is pretty strange, looks like some Lacedonia post was converted to ".........", even old posts that was not able to being edited...
