Revised SAT no better than the old one.(NEWSWATCH)(standardized tests)(Brief article)
Introduced three years ago with much hoopla, the new SAT does no better at predicting a college student's first-year performance than the one it replaced, according to data collected by its owner, the College Board.
"The new SAT was supposed to be significantly better and fairer than the old one, but it is neither," said Robert Schaeffer, outreach director at FairTest, a national group critical of standardized testing. "It under predicts college success for females and those whose best language is not English. Overall, it does not predict success as well as high school grades, so why do we need the SAT, old or new?"
