It's Time to Examine the Examiners.
Weiss, John G.
Negro Educational Review, v38 n2-3 p107-24 Apr-Jul 1987
For Blacks and Hispanics, standardized admission tests and licensing exams are barriers to schools and occupations. Case studies are presented of college admission tests and teacher testing that place women and minorities at a disadvantage. Test biases and misuse must be eliminated and new forms of evaluation must be developed. (VM)
