Have Changes in the SAT Affected Women's Mathematics Performance?

Burton, Nancy

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v15 n4 p5-9 Win 1996

The effects of recent changes on the Scholastic Assessment Tests (SAT) on mathematics performance are being studied using data from 1993 and later. Early results show a relative gain for women in the verbal area but not in mathematics. Expected trends, including an effect from increased calculator use, are discussed. (SLD)
