Here is the problem with that statement. Students and parents hear that statement and what do they do? They focus on testing. They spend many hours and thousands of dollars on prep. Students are taking the test many times. You read many times that students are retaking when they already have a 1500+ SAT. Super scoring and not having to submit all results make it worse. Why do they do it? They fall for the fallacy of the confounding variable. They see the perfect score because the schools brag about them. They think that if they can do that same thing, they will get the same results. They don’t understand what the other student did with their time instead of test prep.
