"Maybe standardized testing is more about&nbsp;measuring privilege; if you're able to get access to advanced academic coaches and preparatory programs, it may advance your possibilities of getting a desirable score," Comeaux&nbsp;explains. He also discusses&nbsp;other factors that the UC system takes into consideration beyond test scores.&nbsp;</p> <p>KPCC is one of the largest NPR affiliate stations in Los Angeles.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.scpr.org/programs/take-two/2019/10/07/20206/" target="_blank" title="KPCC Take Two">Listen here.</a></p> <div class="tags-title">Tags</div> <div class="tags-list"> <div><a href="https://education.ucr.edu/tags/eddie-comeaux-satact" hreflang="en">Eddie Comeaux; SAT/ACT</a></div> </div> <div class="sharing-title">Share This</div><span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://education.ucr.edu/news/2019/10/09/should-university-california-require-sat-and-act-admissions" data-a2a-title="Should University of California require SAT and ACT for admissions?"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_x"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button_google_plus"></a><a class="a2a_button_email"></a><a class="a2a_button_printfriendly"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share" aria-label="more options to share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Feducation.ucr.edu%2Fnews%2F2019%2F10%2F09%2Fshould-university-california-require-sat-and-act-admissions&amp;title=Should%20University%20of%20California%20require%20SAT%20and%20ACT%20for%20admissions%3F"></a></span><script> (function () { const customClassName = 'show-for-sr'; const targetContainer = document.querySelector('.a2a_kit.addtoany_list'); if (!targetContainer) return; const addClassToLabels = () => { const labels = targetContainer.querySelectorAll('.a2a_label'); if (labels.length > 0) { labels.forEach(label => { if (!label.classList.contains(customClassName)) { label.classList.add(customClassName); } }); console.log('Successfully applied show-for-sr class to AddToAny labels.'); return true; } return false; }; const observerConfig = { childList: true, subtree: true }; const observer = new MutationObserver((mutationsList, observer) => { if (addClassToLabels()) { observer.disconnect(); } }); if (!addClassToLabels()) { observer.observe(targetContainer, observerConfig); } })(); </script> Wed, 09 Oct 2019 13:55:40 +0000 juliep 476 at https://education.ucr.edu
