Let's Have Another SAT Score Decline.

Howe, Harold, II

Phi Delta Kappan, v66 n9 p599-602 May 1985

Rather than showing the growing inadequacy of schools, about half of the Scholastic Aptitude Test score decline is attributed to significant changes in the composition of the test-taking group; about one-fourth of the decline to school-related factors; and one-fourth to broader social factors.
