Standardized Testing: Disparities

This study explores disparities in standardized testing scores across different demographics, particularly focusing on gender and race. It analyzes various intelligence tests, including the classic U.S. Army Intelligence Tests and data from the NAEP, SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. The findings reveal significant gaps in performance, with notable differences between males and females in math and verbal scores, as well as racial disparities in various assessments. By addressing these inequities, the research calls for critical discussions on how educational systems can better support all students.
