Are Scholastic Aptitude Tests in Israel Biased Toward Arab College Student Candidates?

Zeidner, Moshe

Higher Education, v15 n5 p507-22 1986

A study of possible test bias in the Arabic and Hebrew versions of a standardized scholastic aptitude test used in Israel found a slight overprediction of performance for Arabs, but the findings appear to be more consistent with psychometric than cultural bias. (Author/MSE)
