SAT Scores No Longer Important 

Credits

ACT and SAT exams are made to measure a students readiness for college. Colleges have a certain score the student has to meet for them to be admitted into their college. Some colleges are "acknowledging the fact that test scores do not necessarily correlate with college success". Many people are say that these exams measure "test taking skills instead of academic abilities". Which is very true for a lot of people, an example of this one of my friends who has maintained a 4.1 GPA since freshman year and has taken College prep classes, but when it came down to taking the ACT he scored a little above average. Some colleges are recognizing this, and are willing to look at students as a whole instead of putting a highly emphasis on SAT scores. The colleges that already have started to not pay a lot of attention to scores as much, are seeing a great effect, more students who didn't even think about applying to their college because of their scores, are applying and are actually performing well in college.
