Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildering: The Use and Misuse of State SAT and ACT Scores.
Powell, Brian; Steelman, Lala Carr
Harvard Educational Review, v66 n1 p27-59 Spr 1996
Updates an earlier study by reanalyzing interstate variations in Scholastic Aptitude Test and American College Test scores. Reaffirms the conclusion that state rankings based on such scores change dramatically when adjusted for number of test takers or class rank of test-taking population. Finds that public expenditures are positively related to test performance. (SK)
