Abstract: A college admission test may also be tutored, but it is very rare that someone besides the student took the test, or that the student was able to access help during the test. Without these stakeholders putting pressure on testing agencies, testing companies will not be incentivized to reimagine their role in how test scores are utilized or otherwise address the societal inequities their tests may perpetuate. Testing agencies are not incentivized to change if their primary consumers continue to rely on tests as part of their admission processes: as long as colleges accept test scores, students will continue to take the tests. Keywords: college admission; high-stakes tests; corporate social responsibility; testing industry EN college admission high-stakes tests corporate social responsibility testing industry 28 31 4 12/28/21 20211201 NES 211201 The issue of what role testing agencies should play in facilitating the socially responsible use of their college admission tests is an important one.
