A while back the SAT people decided to tweak the final scores of applicants using an "adversary score." This would give SOME students, primarily those who are socially or economically disadvantaged, some credit on their SAT for being socially or economically disadvantaged. I think that's sweet, but it does not necessarily test for academic achievement accurately.
So, yesterday the SAT people announced they were NOT proceeding with this. They are, however, moving forward with a "LANDSCAPE" tweak. This scheme would monitor social and economic factors (such as free school lunch participation, school size, class size, etc.) on a non-individual bases.
Presumably this would give a bump to large numbers of students at shit schools in shit districts with shit teachers and shit administrators.
I am still not sure this will assist in the accurate testing of academic achievement, but then again it isn't intended to, is it? It shows how WOKE they are. Let's hear it for Virtue Signalling. I'm more woke than you, so you can go fuck yourself.

It won't measure academic achievement accurately. They should do away with SAT. It's been manipulated to the point of uselessness.
That should be ADVERSITY SCORE. My bad.
