Sorry, testing is the ONLY system to date that reasonably determines a level of accomplishment to date. If, a school wants to fling wide it's doors to all those poor boobs, who didn't get it in high school, the school itself needs to have it's curriculoum, and pedagogy "accredited". However, one must never forget that the same accrediting agency that authorizes the University of Illinois, also accredited a single rented room (office size). This room contained a computer connected to a major university's library system. So, you see even the North Central Accrediting Agency can be corrupted.

The argument to eliminate SAT is developed by those, who wish to incur favor with the PC crowd--
