@vhsdad , that’s ridiculous. You don’t think poor and/or stupid people cheat too? There goes a whole bunch of movie plots.

These tests will be moved online, whether we like it or not. The question will be if colleges decide they are done with them. Proctor U has been around for a while already. This is simply going to bring the inevitable more quickly into our homes.

For those concerned, don’t worry. There’s a good chance that standardized tests might go the way of the dodo, but then again, the GRE isn’t going anywhere. I suspect colleges will have a rough time time with admissions and that if anything, the tests will be revamped to make them more equitable so that they become a more reliable metric. Time will tell.
