On: SAT to Add ‘Adversity Score’ That Rates Students’ Hardships

[BooneJS]

Did I miss seeing anything where they factor in kids with anxiety or other mental issues that make school overly challenging?

They have disability accommodations for that (which are abused by the wealthy apparently). I learned from the recent scandal news.

[souprock → borkt]

This is the real scandal. It is possible to convince a doctor to provide a disability. This gives advantages on the test, such as extra time. The abnormal testing is not reported to colleges.

Probably the only solution here is to offer those advantages to everybody. If you want double time, you should get it. If you want food during the test, you should get it. Whatever it is, let everybody have it. Anything less makes a mockery of "standardized" testing.
