As the University of California considers the role of the SAT and ACT in admissions, dueling reports offer opposite conclusions.
Opponents of the tests say they unfairly discriminate on the basis of race, income and parent education levels.
Test scores are much more closely correlated with family income and education than high school grades, he said. Cai said the task force analyses “very much included the purportedly omitted demographic variables, through a more transparent means.” He said task force members chose to use a different and simpler model than did Geiser so the public would more easily understand their findings.
In any case, the fundamental issue — giving all students an equitable shot at UC admission so the state’s diversity is fully represented — won’t be settled by a “horse race” between SAT scores and high school grades, said Julian Betts, a UC San Diego economics professor and task force member.
