Smith, who took the SAT recently and has not received his score yet, said he expected to do poorly based on his low scores on the PSAT and practice tests. He said the numbers do not reflect his ability and the effort he has put into maintaining good grades, as he dealt with hunger, homelessness and the death of his brother earlier this year. Unlike his friends from more affluent families, he could not afford test prep courses that cost thousands of dollars per month.
“The University of California has already devoted substantial resources to studying this complex issue,” the spokeswoman, Claire Doan, said in a statement.

The purpose of standardized testing is to measure knowledge, not 'experiences.' But go ahead and continue to dumb down your standards. It really helps no one.
