My ulterior motive is to destroy higher education - particularly all institutions of prestige - so I acknowledge that I may have a bias, but I don't think standardized exams do all that much to help spread education in an efficient way. Despite the existence of the SAT, the lower ~third of admitted students at an ordinary school end up dropping out regardless, and there is so much noise in differentiating a rank-100 college from, say, a rank-250 college that it really doesn't matter where you go to undergrad relative to field of study, individual study ethic, accomplishments, and intelligence. Class examinations will do a plenty good job on their own separating the retards from the decent students. And the GRE is basically totally worthless, most professors will tell you that GPA, publications, and good extra-curriculars outweigh it.
