One of the main things an occupying force does to hinder their enemy is to limit their education. For example, the Nazis killed as much of the intelligentsia and archivists as they could in Poland, whilst limiting education to primary school only (and a 4th grade level at that).

This is part of the general push to get rid of standardized testing. Without these tests, the only metrics for college admission will be GPA and extra-curriculars. GPA is meaningless due to grade-inflation and inconsistency between schools. Evaluating based on extra-curriculars is super subjective and dependent on the resources of the school/family. If you are a normal white kid you'll get fucked while jews and niggers flood in.

Itβs because at least in 2011 for me, if you were a person with the ability to take tests and think critically, 1300 was the minimum you could score unless you were fucking around
The questions were all worded in a way that with a basic level of logic you could sus out the answer just from the question

Something normies still struggle with.
Let's face it, scientific literacy amongst the public is non-existent. Science sections in standardized tests would force some people to learn basic interpretation of data. What this move is saying is that science should be left only to those who choose to study it (experts). What the experts don't realize is that if the public can't understand science, they won't value it and their funding won't be protected, something which Carl Sagan understood very well. America today values soft skills over hard skills and this will continue to be true for the foreseeable future.

The SAT was switched to being primarily knowledge based in 1994. Before then, a significant portion of it was analytical. Test takers with high IQs likely are tightly correlated with those having acquired better than average amounts of knowledge so even if it's not testing intelligence directly, it still manages to have some predictive ability. Since people of lower intelligence can prep through cramming with the set of likely knowledge required for a high score and highly intelligent people can come from backgrounds that limit their access to knowledge of the type on the test, more outliers likely exist than on the pre-1994 SAT.

My entire senior year of college was nothing but jeets and nigger GAs teaching. I don't think the professors showed up more than five times the entire two semesters. The jeets were actually the worst because they would get problems wrong that they were showing us and the class would correct them and they would always get butthurt. The nigerians are exactly what you would expect. They were 90IQ diversity quotas that were below the undergrads in comprehension.
If you want to have a good chuckle, go to the student doctor forums. They have to be extremely passive aggressive because they got a bunch of cucked mods and it's reddit lite now, but they make it a point to tell everyone how it's completely fair for blacks to score 50% lower than whites on the MCAT and still get accepted because IQ is culturally relative.
