Peer reviewedTaube, Kurt T.; Linden, Kathryn W. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1989
The impact of participation rate and nine educational/demographic variables on state mean Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores for the class of 1985 was studied. It is misleading to compare scores on standardized tests without considering proportions of potential examinees taking the test, and the SAT needs to be renormed. (SLD)
