Scholastic Aptitude Test
1. Is the SAT an Achievement or
an Aptitude (for college) test?
2. Is the SAT valid?
3. Is the SAT reliable?
9. Example –SAT
Scholastic Aptitude Test
• The SAT never proven to predict future college success,
numerous studies show grades are superior predictors.
The SAT was really an achievement test.
• The SAT is not valid because it measures achievement
rather than predicting future success (aptitude).
• Prep courses dramatically increase scores on the SAT.
• The SAT is not reliable because individuals can have
inconsistent results from different sittings.
• The SAT is, however, a goldmine for the College Board’s
ETS, is defended by powerful lobbyists at all levels of
government and education.
• Psychometrically, a poor test; economically a boon.
