现在SAT各种标化考试政治化了，所以媒体解说也是众说纷纭。基本是尽量淡化标考作为指标的作用。

但是SAT出现最初的确是基于IQ考试的。上面的文章来自PBS，偏左，所以阅读的时候aware。

“It does correlate extremely highly with an IQ test. It was developed from the army IQ test...

That's part of the seedy under side of the SAT. The SAT was originally developed by straight out racists--eugenicists, people who thought my forbearers--not just people of color--were imbeciles and shouldn't be allowed in their country because they didn't know the language and couldn't score high on their test. I wouldn't suggest the current people who run those companies share those kinds of ugly views. But it's a self-reinforcing notion of defining intelligence as that which whatever the dominant group in society has. Ends up giving that group higher scores and lower scores. The fact that test scores correlate with test scores is rather meaningless. The tests are measuring the same set of factors. What's more important is whether the test accurately predicts how well you're going to do.”

鉴于现在一旦涉及政治问题左右之争，论坛会爆炸，我也不回帖了。：）

• 现在很多高中不排名，但推荐信还是可以看出学生在哪个区间，课业如何，有成绩单，没有标考也没大关系，反正主要录取看每个高中内横向比较 -米汤- ♂ (248 bytes) () 12/08/2021 postreply 07:41:20

• 如果不用，还不如完全取消，否则不公平，小中还要考，别人都不考。很辛苦。 -haoren3- ♂ (188 bytes) () 12/08/2021 postreply 10:27:47
