The Scholastic Aptitude Test: An Historical Perspective.

Coffman, William E.

College Board Review, n117 pA8-A11 Fall 1980

Test validity, coaching, the college admissions process, and achievement tests are discussed by the director of the Iowa Testing Programs. Data published on the SAT are examined. It is suggested that systematic instruction in problem-solving skills may improve not only test performance but also skills the test is designed to assess. (Author/MLW)
