<p>In a way, I'm sort of glad that I won't have to take the Sew SAT and the New ACT, but at the same time, I'm slightly disappointed about not being able to take them. I'm good at writing and English so the writing portion wouldn't have scared me (I probably would have actually liked that part), but the timing and the way that they would have been scored would have. I'm not so sure that they are going to be able to score these writings in a way that they will be fair on everyone saying everyone is going to say different things in the essays. Also, everyone uses a unique writing style, diction, syntax, etc. that may not be liked by one judge but might be liked by another. Everyone even takes different amounts of time to compose a good essay so writing an essay in, say, thirty minutes may be a hindrance for some and a blessing for others.</p>
<p>Standardized tests are already biased in how they evaluate an applicant because they were originally supposed to evaluate and find the norm in a population ( since they were based off of a normal curve). This means that they were originally not supposed to test how smart one person is but evqaluate a group as a whole. I don't know. I'm wondering if the new tests may make them even more biased than make them more reasonable.</p>
