College Board to Start Assigning 'Adversity Score' to All SAT Test Takers

Summary from the AllSides News Team

The nonprofit group which administers the SAT, the College Board, will now include an 'adversity score' for test takers. The score includes any social and economic privileges that a test taker may have, for admissions officers to better understand a student's score. This comes after criticism of college admissions for not having enough diversity on campuses. The score is an index on a scale of 1 to 100. 50 represents average privilege; anything above 50 represents an amount of adversity while anything below represents a degree of privilege.
