A Review of "The Case against the SAT" by James Crouse and Dale Trusheim.

Coffman, William E.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v27 n1 p89-92 Spr 1990

Rather than an unbiased accumulation of evidence, the work argues the authors' position, which includes advocating the use of achievement tests in the college admissions process. Arguments against use of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) are primarily based on analyses of data from the National Longitudinal Study of 1972. (SLD)
