this is why more and more colleges and universities are forgoing standardized testing. the tests will demonstrate the lack of preparedness. Most students entering college need to take remedial math and or English but will not be put into those courses. This is also why we cannot get enough STEM students which is a national security problem. Unfortunately, these deficits impact low income students disproportionately and give ammo t the radicals who will couch all this is racial/ethnic terms.
