‘The battleground is education’: classical SAT, ACT alternative gains ground

An alternative, classical college entrance exam moves forward with plans to rival the College Board after scoring a major victory in Florida.

“I think there’s a real fight right now for America’s future, and I think the battleground is education,” Classical Learning Test founder Jeremy Wayne Tate told The College Fix in a Thursday phone call.

“If we think education controls the future, we need to ask what controls education,” Tate said. “One of those things, one of the huge things, is standardized tests.”

Even more “it is a statement of reality that teachers will teach towards the test,” Tate said. “Because this is a statement of reality, we need a test worthy of imitation.”
