This unique volume gives voice to all the major players and writers at the forefront of the debate currently raging in America over the scholastic assessment test (SAT). The book not only focuses on Richard Atkinson's controversial stance regarding the American SAT, but highlights the thinking of individuals from all the various sectors involved, from testing specialists to academics to the popular press. The contributors tackle both pro and con positions, and debate the more newsworthy topics discussed in the press like race, gender, and class issues associated with standardized testing.
