Despite being the founder of a successful business based on preparing for a wide range of standardized tests including the SAT , ACT examination ACT , Graduate Management Admission Test GMAT , Graduate Record Examination GRE , Law School Admission Test LSAT , and MCAT , Katzman is an outspoken critic of the modern preoccupation with standardized testing, and has argued that many tests are no better indicator of achievement in the relevant fields than grades and scores on other tests such as the Advanced Placement exams that students already complete. He is often invited to speak on topics related to education and the measurement of academic achievement. In 2008, John founded 2tor, Inc. , a private company that partners with preeminent institutions of higher education to deliver rigorous, selective degree programs online. Selected quotes You do need a common yardstick. You do need some way to judge an A at this school or this teacher versus an A at this school or this teacher. But there are lots of common yardsticks. Again, you could use blood type. You could use height. Anything is a common yardstick. What you have to say is, fine, it s common. But is it useful?
