Jim Blair: When test scores lower, so are UW graduation rates

Dear Editor: Both the ACT and SAT tests do what they were designed (and are constantly revised) to do: measure academic aptitude. A higher score on these tests is the boxing equivalent to a boxer being heavier. To admit students with lower test scores to compete with students with higher scores is the academic equivalent to putting middleweight or lightweight boxers into the ring to fight against heavyweights.
