College Board replaces plan for SAT student 'adversity score.'
on its website Tuesday that it would no longer display a single “score” that combined high school and neighborhood information about students taking the SAT, an exam used to grant admission by many colleges and universities.
"We listened to thoughtful criticism and made Landscape better and more transparent," David Coleman, the CEO of College Board, said in a statement announcing the change."Landscape provides admissions officers more consistent background information so they can fairly consider every student, no matter where they live and learn."
College Board said that the tool is meant to provide “consistent information about a student’s neighborhood and high school, helping colleges consider context in the application review process.” “The idea of a single score was wrong,” Coleman told The Associated Press. “It was confusing and created the misperception that the indicators are specific to an individual student.”In a section of its website, College Board said that Landscape “does not measure adversity and never will.”
