SAT Mumbo Jumbo
Are standardized test scores a good indication of student achievement? ... This is partly because the SAT scores have bearing, naturally, only on the achievement of students who have chosen to take the test; these scores do not necessarily say anything about how well our schools are succeeding at educating most of our students. ...
Thus, comparing SAT averages across the years is like comparing apples and oranges. ... Perhaps most critical of all, the SAT reflects students ability to disentangle verbal conundrums and mathematics puzzlers in a speed endurance test more than it reflects their general mathematics and verbal/reading ability. It is noteworthy that over 240 colleges and universities have dropped the SAT as an admissions requirement.
