imagine bringing the gaokao to american schools

(it's 9 hours long, no student has ever gotten a perfect score, and is the only determinant of where you end up in college in China)

it would cause absolute pandemonium

TBH once you score 1600 you should unlock a second harder test that gives you a second score on top of the 1600— we should have more and higher measures of excellence

But instead they ban the SAT so that everything turns into random lottery and excellence cannot be recognized
