    I mean they do have SAT’s in the states which still matters quite a bit for acceptance. That seems like a solve for a grade inflation scenario like we’re seeing although it’s not without it’s caveats.

      SATs are honestly such a worthless exam. Unlike standardized exams in other countries (高考…) which actually evaluate high school education, SATs are an independent skillset that needs to be independently studied for. It’s stupid.
