How the New SAT 'Adversity Score' Could Affect Admissions...

What this episode covers

The SAT is a big deal for many American students. The better you do on the exam, the better the school you go to. But with the new “adversity score” being factored in, this could be changing. This week, we break down what this new measure means, why it won’t help students in the long-run, and what needs to happen to fix the problem the adversity score tries to solve. Hosted on Acast.
