The author is a little sloppy with his defense, which is frustrating. He ends up mixing race and class factors together for some of the counter arguments, which muddies the waters. The SAT is class biased. The college board only offers fee waivers to folks who qualify for food stamps, and otherwise charges $55 / test. The data [1] shows strong improvements for people who take the test multiple times and weak improvements for test prep. People take the test different numbers of times, and so the administration of the test is non-standard enough to generate these biased outcomes. If folks actually wanted to de-bias the test, we’d focus on standardizing the administration of it. Make it free for students (charge colleges instead) and make everyone take it exactly twice or something.
