Absolutely agree. If these tests are not offered in the school during normal school hours, students should receive compensation for taking the test. It's bonkers to me that students have to pay to take it. Travel should also be provided if the test cannot be offered in the student's school. I think that would be a much fairer way to close the equity gap for standardized testing, rather than remove one of the few ways a student from a low-income background can prove their academic worth.
