Great idea, because one isolated test score is always a reliable indicator of "real value to employers" than a track record accumulated over a number of years.
Yes, I know the potential problems with GPAs. And I've seen enough lawyers with degrees from "top" law schools who can't reason, write or argue their way out of an open field to know that where someone went to school might mean zilch. But I don't think a single SAT-like test is the answer. References, personal interactions and homework on potential employees are better indicators to my mind.
