Meritocracy and the SAT/ACT

According to a recent LA Times article, the Compton school district and others have petitioned the UC system to to drop the SAT/ACT. The issue at hand is whether dropping the tests could result in more of a "meritocracy.”

My feeling is that the SAT and ACT are no better/worse than any other standardized test. The problem isn't the test, it's the concept of "meritocracy."
