Not only are there some fascinating facts behind some standardized testing, the topic is currently getting national attention. Look up California and the SAT. I heard something about this on NPR. I think the whole state system is considering dropping SAT scores as a criteria for university admission due to inherent biases and deficiencies. They expect this case may lead the country in a similar direction. It would be great to examine the language of the California debate as part of your project.

Make sure to tie your specific predictions to a theory, and provide a context.

See you,

Chris
