Standardized Testing in a Less-than-Perfect World.
Ashworth, Kenneth H.
College Board Review, n154 p10-13,23-24 Win 1989-90
Testing has almost completely lost its identity as a device to increase access to college for the underprivileged. Testing today is seen as a device to deny access. Intelligence is randomly distributed among the rich and the poor, and testing helps remove privilege as a guarantee of success and advancement. (MLW)
