The SAT is actually a far better predictor than everyone has said, 67% of the time SAT scores will correlate with college GPA.
ReplyDeleteCorrelation- Mutual relation of two or more things, parts, etc...
Postulated- To ask, demand, or claim

A counter claim about the SAT test from the article is this: "It’s commonly said that the SAT, taken in a senior year of high school, has only about a 40% correlation with a student’s freshman year college GPA. If it’s that bad at predicting how well a kid does in college, just one year later, then how could it predict longer-term outcomes in life, when other factors become increasingly important?" This is pretty much saying that from the 4 years of high school, the SAT doesn't relate to all of the years as much as the year that it is taken.So it only shows a small amount of what the student has actually learned throughout their high school experience.

If 67% of the SAT score relates to your GPA, it doesn't say much about your future. The SAT is set up to take for colleges in order to determine what schools you are capable on going to. Your SAT score can't tell your future.

Credence - belief in or acceptance of something true

In defense with the SAT tests, SAT scores are compatible with college GPA, 67% of the time for all students. A counter claim against the SAT tests would be that while these tests are taken during senior year of high school, they have only about a 40% connection with a student’s freshman year college GPA. This counter claim makes a substantial amount of people question how it could predict how students were doing after college and longer-term outcomes in life.

SAT's, while not always completely an accurate prediction of a students success, are often very close. Many didn't think this, but it turns out that 67% of the time, one's SAT scores correlate with their GPA.

The SAT test is pretty good at predicting how well a student will do in college. Two economists took 5.1 million grades from 167,000 students over a range of 41 colleges and they found that the SAT test correlates with college GPA 67%, and not 40% like many believe. It's a better predictor than a lot of people think it is.

the sat cannot predict how well a person does in college. High schoolers of diverging abilities apply to different schools. The strongest students apply to one tier of colleges, & the average students apply to a less ambitious tier. Once students go to a college, they enroll in classes they believe they can do well in. At each college and the courses, students may average a B grade, but the degree of difficulty in achieving that grade is not comparable.
