The conversation about bias in the SAT is tired like an old dog. The College Board, which makes the test, doesn’t even bother to deny that there are racial and economic disparities in average scores. Research published in the Harvard Educational Review has shown that individual questions in the verbal section are racially skewed in favor of whites and Asians. (One infamous example from the analogies: students were supposed to find that RUNNER is to MARATHON as OARSMAN is to REGATTA. Yes, what say we go out sculling on the Charles, chaps?) - Benjamin Winterhalter on the Baffler blog
