The former director of assessment design for College Board, the organization that owns the SAT and Advanced Placement tests, is alleging its SAT rewrite has been riddled with shoddy work and public deceptions. College Board released a rewritten SAT this spring. Manuel Alfaro reveals, among other things:
My first assignment with the College Board was to review a draft of the test specifications for the redesigned SAT. The document had been created by two of David Coleman’s cronies, two authors of the Common Core. … My instructions were to rubberstamp the selection of standards and to rewrite the standard descriptions to make them unrecognizable, so that no one could tell they were Common Core............The only people who benefit from that scenario are those who work for College Board and get millions of dollars in taxpayer funds for shoddy work. There is already some independent verification of Alfaro’s claims that the new SAT is of worse quality. For example, Western Kentucky University has increased the new SAT score required to qualify for admission – by 80 points. In the university’s estimation, a 1020 on the new test is comparable to a 940 on the old test.
