[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote]With the Common Core, Coleman worked to reshape public education from kindergarten up. Now, as the incoming president of the College Board—the nonprofit that administers the SAT, the Advanced Placement program, and a number of other testing regimens—he hopes to effect change from the top down, by shifting what is expected of students applying to college and, he hopes, by increasing the number of students who apply in the first place. Coleman’s most radical idea is to redesign the SAT, [b]transforming it from an aptitude test intended to control for varying levels of school quality[/b], to a knowledge test aligned with the Common Core. He describes this change as a way to put applicants on an equal playing field, a message to “poor children and all children that their finest practice will be rewarded.” [/quote] The SAT is not currently and never has been an aptitude test. It has always been a knowledge test. [/quote]
