<p>Do you think they are a better assessment of academic readiness than the SATs/ACTs?</p>

<p>i looked at the 2002 exam and it seemed like AP Comparative goevrnment/european history, not like the SAT at all…
but personally, i think the ACT and the AP exams are better assessments than the SAT</p>

<p>It’s a very good assessment for the sort of subjects that students entering the LSE are likely to be taking; I think it’s definitely not right for hard science/engineering students (for obvious reasons).</p>

<p>You might also be interested in looking at the [url=<a href=“http://tsa.ucles.org.uk/index.html]TSA[/url”>http://tsa.ucles.org.uk/index.html]TSA[/url</a>], though, which is a test that Cambridge gives some students at their interviews.</p>
