On Differential Selection in the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test.
Reuterberg, Sven-Eric
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v42 n1 p81-97 Mar 1998
Selection effects in the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test due to socioeconomic status (SES) were studied using data from longitudinal studies (n=8,222). Results show that subjects from low SES groups constitute the most positively-selected group even though they obtain the lowest test scores. Gender and grade differences are discussed. (MAK)
