Listen to “Adversity Score Added to SAT” on Spreaker.
The College Board announced it will be instituting an adversity test for the SATs in 150 schools to measure the level of difficult faced by each student. The new system will take into consideration the socio-economic upbringing of each student. The change seeks to better represent students who accomplished more with less; considering the poverty and crime rates faced by students over the course of their childhood. Matt Fisher reports.
