☆ Should the SAT still matter after all these years? Why some colleges are bringing it back
  + stars: | 2024-04-21 | by ( Eva Rothenberg | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +15 min
The longest-enduring standardized college admissions test in the nation, the SAT has faced decades of controversy over bias and criticism for reducing aspiring college students to a test score. Discrepancies with standardized testing appear to be symptomatic of the inequality endemic to the education system. In 2005, the College Board added an 800-point writing section to the exam alongside its math and verbal reasoning sections. In this Jan. 17, 2016 file photo, a sign is seen at the entrance to a hall for a college test preparation class in Bethesda, Md.

☆ Why Is the College Board Pushing to Expand Advanced Placement?
  + stars: | 2023-11-18 | by ( Dana Goldstein | More About Dana Goldstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For the past two decades, the College Board has moved aggressively to expand the number of high school students taking Advanced Placement courses and tests — in part by pitching the program to low-income students and the schools that serve them. “Why are we holding it for some?”Left out of that narrative is one of the most sobering statistics in education: Some 60 percent of A.P. exams taken by low-income students this year scored too low for college credit — 1 or 2 out of 5 — a statistic that has not budged in 20 years. Nevertheless, the College Board, citing its own research, says its A.P. program helps all students, regardless of scores, do better in college — a claim that has helped persuade states and local districts to help pay for the tests.
