ymr – my apologies, I wasn’t clear. When I said that they “don’t take them,” I was referring to the way they take them. If someone fills in random answers, they’re not taking a test; they’re filling in random answers without even reading the questions.
In chasidishe yeshivos, the standardized tests are answered at random. They do not ATTEMPT to take the test, so pointing to their 99% fail rate is misinformation.
This fact is easily verifiable; for an “investigative” reporter, it’s shameless bias and cherry picking.
