The New York Times is reporting that the College Board is putting off the launch of the 8th grade test it had planned for this fall.  This test, called the ReadiStep, was criticized by many, including me, as an attempt the start the college admissions process into the 8th grade.

It is good to see that this test will not be used, at least in the immediate future, since it seems to provide no real benefit to anyone except the College Board.
