(WINSTON-SALEM) -- A Wake Forest University professor has published a book calling for an end to SAT testing for high school students wanting to attend college. Professor of Sociology Joseph Soares edited "SAT Wars: The Case for Test-Optional Admissions."

"When we put it in statistical models and we do run the numbers in order to see how well we can predict the academic performance of students the SAT either does nothing for us or, at the University of Georgia their predictive power by one percentage point," said Soares.

Wake Forest University stopped requiring SAT or ACT results as part of the admissions process in 2009.
