Summary:"This book offers detailed empirical evidence for how standardized tests widen racial inequity in college admissions, and shows how recent attempts by the College Board to introduce an "adversity index" fall short of addressing the inequities that the SAT and ACT perpetuate. It takes a close look at the results of colleges and universities that have introduced test-optional admissions, which reveals greater diversity and better student outcomes"--
