3/The lawsuit overlooks the benefits of taking the #SAT. With adequate preparation, the SAT could be a SPRINGBOARD that helps students, not a barrier to college. #highered

2/ Facts: most #testoptional schools still use the #SAT in admissions or for course placement--and the test is key for getting financial aid. #highered

1/ Kudos to those who are challenging the @UofCalifornia system to make things more equitable for students. But will making the test “optional” really get rid of the #SAT? #highered
