<p>curious -- i am not anti - test -- you are the one who keeps saying this is NOT about sats. you are trying to have your argument both ways -- using sats when it suits your purpose and then claiming that this isn't about sats when it more suits your argument. just one of the many ways in which you are failing to make a logical consistent argument. whenever i point this out, you find something that doesn't really address what i've said to raise while ignoring the fundamental flaws i've pointed out in your arguments. the more you keep making these types of arguments the clearer you make it for everyone reading here to see just how illogical you are being. </p>
<p>the best thing i can wish your hypothetical student is to get better college counseling than he would be getting if he listened to you -- since your type of thinking will only lead to a lot of anger and resentment instead of helping him to find a school where he could in fact be happy for four years of his life.</p>
