I refuse to believe that tests such as these can determine one's mental capacity, for someone could be one of the greatest thinkers, artists, writers, etc., but if they are bad at taking tests, they are suddenly deemed slow, or unready for college.
This being said, it would be nearly impossible to organize individual tests custom fitted for each student, but I do think some system that would let a student shine in a subject they excel at would be better. If you're wonderful at history, what good is a math/reading/writing test to you? How would that let a college know how good at history you were, if it does not even include the subject?
