Wainer, Howard; Steinberg, Linda S.
Harvard Educational Review, v62 n3 p323-36 Fall 1992
Matching almost 47,000 men and women on type of math course taken and grade received, women scored about 33 points lower on the Scholastic Aptitude Test-Mathematics than men who had taken the same course and received the same grade. Sex differences call into question the validity of the SAT as a predictor of college math performance. (SK)
