Being the valedictorian of a class of 12 brings less information than a class of 1K. Its the same story for the rigor of the classes themselves between different schools/states/countries and the actual classes taken by any given student. Getting As in all AP classes carries more information than all As in easy courses. Its really nice to have an aptitude test to select the students you think have the best shot of succeeding or the brightest kids. An aptitude test is also an avenue to select bright kids who went to really bad schools or didn't do well in school for some reason. You can't throw away information and expect a better outcome. |
