| Abstract | Accommodations, deserved or undeserved, have been under the microscope in 2019. They played a prominent role in this year's Varsity Blues college admissions scandal, with prosecutors alleging that wealthy parents persuaded willing psychologists to say their child needed extra time in special testing centers--in a few cases, ringers proctored the exam and cheated on a student's behalf. The "New York Times" reported from court filings that in one case, William Singer, the scandal's mastermind, told a parent that for $4,000 or $5,000, a psychologist he worked with would attest that his child needed more time. As schools grapple with these realities, a few educators, researchers, and psychologists have begun to wonder whether it is time to make a fundamental change to tests like the SAT so that they are harder to game. More broadly, they ask: If success in college is about 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, close reading, and collaboration, should gate-keeping tests such as the SAT be timed at all? Advocates argue that making the test untimed for everyone would make it harder for rich or well-connected parents to game the system, and also might do a better job of measuring students' true capabilities.
