[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.wsj.com/articles/sat-to-give-students-adversity-score-to-capture-social-and-economic-background-11557999000 Wonder how they'll define adversity. It is hard for me to support it as a "donut hole" parent, but I do recognize that this is appropriate direction g[b]iven how prep classes routinely up SAT scores by 200-300 points[/b]. Thoughts?[/quote] this is a fallacy--I think external studies have that when you use a real SAT for pre and a real SAT for post (not some in-house equivalent amassed from selecting problems from prior tests or creating analogues)prep raised scores on average 30-40 pts (which is not unsubstantial, but not drastic) and that most prep places massaged data in ways to make gains appear far larger than an external assessment would find.[/quote]
