Paul Siemens, Director of Advantage Testing Los Angeles, contributed to the New York Times discussion of the importance of the SAT and ACT in the college admissions process.
"Thoughtfully constructed tests represent powerful opportunities for learning. Any test, by definition, asks students to demonstrate what they know. College entrance examinations are no different. By asking applicants to take these tests, colleges and universities encourage prospective students to prepare themselves more fully for the college experience."
