61 Support/Opposition to Eliminating Standardized Test Scores in College Admissions

There has recently been some debate about whether colleges should stop using standardized test scores when making admissions decisions. Some advocates argue that standardized tests should be eliminated because they are unfair. [They point to studies showing that test designers write questions that rely on background knowledge that white students are more likely to have than African American or Latino students. / They point to studies showing that white students tend to receive higher scores on these tests than African American and Latino students. / They point to studies showing that white students are more likely to attend school districts with resources that can better prepare them for these tests compared to African American and Latino students.] How about you? Do you support or oppose eliminating the use of standardized test scores in college admissions?

74 Survey Details

Verasight collected data for this survey from September 07 - September 13, 2023. The questionnaire text can be found in the accompanying codebook for this project. The sample consists of 2,000 United States adults. The sampling criteria for this survey were:
1. U.S. adult (age 18+)

The selection criteria for the final sample were:
1. Passed all data quality assurance checks, outlined below

The data are weighted to match the Current Population Survey on age, race/ethnicity, sex, income, education, region, and metropolitan status, as well as to population benchmarks of partisanship and 2020 presidential vote. The margin of sampling error, which accounts for the design effect and is calculated using the classical random sampling formula, is +/- 2.3%.

All respondents were recruited from the Verasight Community, which is composed of individuals recruited via random address-based sampling, random person-to-person text messaging, and dynamic online targeting. All Verasight community members are verified via multi-step authentication, including providing an SMS response from a mobile phone registered with a major U.S. carrier (e.g., no VOIP or internet phones) as well as within-survey technology, including verifying the absence of non-human responses with technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA v3. Those who exhibit low-quality response behaviors over time, such as straight-lining or speeding, are also removed and prohibited from further participation in the community. Verasight Community members receive points for taking surveys that can be redeemed for Venmo or PayPal payments, gift cards, or charitable donations. Respondents are never routed from one survey to another and receive compensation for every invited survey, so there is never an incentive to respond strategically to survey qualification screener questions. To further ensure data quality, the Verasight data team implements a number of post-data collection quality assurance procedures, including confirming that all responses correspond with U.S. IP addresses, confirming no duplicate respondents, verifying the absence of non-human responses, and removing any respondents who failed in-survey attention, speeding, and/or straight-lining checks.

Unmeasured error in this or any other survey may exist. Verasight is a member of the American Association for Public Opinion Research Transparency Initiative.
