The Scandal of Standardized Tests
Why We Need to Drop the SAT and ACT
Joseph A. Soares (Bidragsyter)
This update to SAT Wars provides new evidence in the case against standardized college entry tests, including the experiences
of test-optional colleges. The Scandal of Standardized Tests sheds significant light on key problems such as: Are the tests stronger proxies for race and family income today than they were 20 years
ago? Does going test-optional promote racial and economic diversity? Are there any differences in academic records between
students admitted without test scores and those with them? How does testing figure into race-sensitive admissions legal controversies?
Why is the College Board's "environmental dashboard" inadequate as a way to create a fair playing field? How are the odds
of attending and graduating from college stacked against low-income youths and racial minorities? What does the FBI Varsity
Blues sting tell us about college admissions in America? Book Features:
Provides 25 years of data on California showing how the correlation of test scores with race has grown over time while their predictive powers have declined. Les mer
