Samenvatting:

The controversy surrounding the implications of standardized tests for US college admissions is constant among the general public, academics, administrators, policy makers, and certainly students. This volume gives voice to all the major players and writers at the forefront of the debate.

Rethinking the SAT is a unique presentation of the latest thoughts and research findings of key individuals in the world of college admissions, including the president of the largest public university system in the U.S., as well as the presidents of the two companies that sponsor college admissions tests in the U.S. The contributors address not only the pros and cons of the SAT itself, but the broader question of who should go to college in the twenty-first century.
