We want to study standardized tests to see how bias they are. We predict that the test scores will be lower for minorities then for the majority. We also predict that a history of I.Q's will be different depending on the ethnic background. We plan to discuss the positive and negative aspects of standardized tests. We also plan to distribute a survey to see what people think of standardized tests and how they compute whose smart and who isn't.
