Show PostYup, I think the old Harris and Sass paper finds essentially the same result.

Fair! Also worth noting that this is extra acceleration for a particularly high-achieving group of students. Typical acceleration research focuses on students pushed up a year. This is two years of acceleration for something like top 5% achievers, I think. Still important!
Show PostMy oldest was born in 2010. When I went to start a college savings account that year, Vanguard essentially said "tuition has been rising at 8% a year" and, assuming this continued for 18 years, tuition in 2028 would be $250,000/year. Needless to say, that prediction was very very wrong.
Show PostGreat review of recent evidence on the role of standardized testing in college admissions. A recent paper by BU econ PhD student Ethan Lewis shows that adopting test optional admissions reduces STEM degree completions, particularly for under-represented minority students.
