| Abstract | Spurred in part by University of California (UC) President Richard Atkinson's February 2001 proposal to drop the SAT I for UC applicants, more attention is being paid to other tests such as the SAT II and ACT. Proponents of these alternative exams argue that the SAT I is primarily an aptitude test measuring some vague concept of "inherent ability," while the SAT II and ACT are "achievement tests" more closely tied to what students learn in high school. This article discusses and shows that while the origins of the exams and the rhetoric of their promoters may differ, the SAT I, SAT II and ACT actually exhibit many of the same flaws and shortcomings.
