Appraising the Implications of the SAT for Educational Policy.

Steelman, Lala Carr; Powell, Brian

Differences in the corrected state rankings on Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores are explained by the percentage of students taking the test and by student composition by sex, race, and average family income. Higher state per capita educational expenditures are significantly related to higher average SAT scores. Policy implications are discussed. (MLF)
