Day #25 If the SATs/grades did not exist, in what way should colleges/teachers evaluate applicants?

I think colleges should base their evaluation of you on your transcript. Tests are terrible for determining skill, honestly. Lots of people, myself included, have terrible test anxiety. I do way better in school because we spend a lot of time learning and reviewing topics. Also, the tests ask you to cram EVERYTHING you know into your brain for three hours and that is completely unreasonable. I'm good at math when i'm in a class, but when you give me a test on a concept, especially one that requires me to recall everything i've ever learned in math, i'm not going to do as well AT ALL. College is going to be like this:  a teacher teaches you something and then you learn it and then you test on it and then you're done with it. That is how highschool works too. Asking a student to regurgitate everything they have learned in all subjects is insanity. It's not accurate. Not only is the student unable to cram everything, but also the anxiety from taking a test can seriously affect how they do. Also the student might do BAD on a  test because they haven't learned everything! Their teachers might not have done a very good job preparing them. ACT/SAT tests are probably the worst way to grade how someone will do in college. Colleges need to know how a students does IN SCHOOL--not on a test!
