More Book Details

Description of the Book:

In an article published in the spring 2003 issue of “Harvard Educational Review”, Roy Freedle stated that the SAT® is both culturally and statistically biased. Freedle proposed a solution to this bias, which involved using a half-test made up of the most difficult items culled from complete SAT examination. His claims, which garnered national attention, were based on serious errors in his analysis. In Dorans and Zeller (2004), we demonstrated that the effects Freedle reported are reduced substantially when the data are analyzed correctly. Here, we describe a sound way of assessing whether the current SAT scoring procedure is fair, and we examine what happens when we subject the Freedle’s hard half-test to a score-equity assessment
