Of course it fills a need. But that doesn’t mean it fills it perfectly and with our huge country and all its disparate systems, it seems wonky to me that the CB wields so much influence.
There’s a reason the top high schools in the country have weaned themselves off AP exams over the last decade or so.
For a huge system like UC or CSU, a proprietary entrance exam seems like a much more appropriate and effective method. I realize it’s a bureaucratic hurdle, but in an ideal world I think it would serve students much better. For now, hopefully CA high schools will start stepping up for their students and providing more testing opps. Parent obviously should be pushing for this, as they did in my district.
