We Don’t Need No SAT Test! There’s a Better Way to Test for College Entrance - Jeremy Tate Nov 01, 2017

Show notes

For decades the SAT has served as THE doorway that all students have to successfully pass through if they have any hopes of being accepted by reputable colleges. But today the test has been dramatically changed to the point that it is generally not demonstrating the true academic ability of students, especially those in classical Christian schools. Given the 'dumbing down' of the test, many students are now getting the highest scores possible and colleges are quickly finding the SAT to be less of an indicator of ability. Enter Jeremy Tate, a former college admissions, test prep consultant, and counselor who was so alarmed by the changing SAT that he crafted the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as a means of restoring the foundations of Western education. And best of all… colleges are welcoming students who submit this new test with their applications!

We live in a world that celebrates mediocrity and egalitarianism, where no one can judge anyone, and anyone’s truth is as good as anyone else's.

My guests, Ambrose Upper school dean Chris Browne and 15 year admissions director Susan Herrick, explore this tension and share steps to keep striving for excellence and grace in balance.
