SAT放棄逆境分?jǐn)?shù)，新的評估系統(tǒng)Landscape上線了

▲環(huán)境背景儀表板（Landscape）

The SAT adversity score is a number that the College Board calculates from information it has about different aspects of an SAT test taker's life about the disadvantages they've faced.

SAT逆境得分是根據(jù)學(xué)生生活中不同方面的劣勢計算得出的數(shù)字。

This score is visible to colleges and institutional score report recipients?only; if you're a test-taker and you look at your SAT scores in your College Board account, you won't see this information.

此分?jǐn)?shù)僅對大學(xué)和機(jī)構(gòu)成績報告收件人可見；如果您是考生并且在College Board賬戶中查看您的SAT成績，您將看不到這些信息。

The College Board announced changes to its "adversity index" --- even before it was used.

College Board在使用前宣布改變“逆境指數(shù)” 。

New system will be based on two standards?-- neighborhood and high school?-- and will be available to all.

新系統(tǒng)將基于兩個標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?“街區(qū)和高中”，并將向所有人提供該指數(shù)。

The changes continue the College Board's effort to provide colleges with more information about the high schools attended by students who take the SAT. With more colleges dropping the SAT as an admissions requirement, the College Board is under pressure to show that it is aware of worries that the test favors those who are better off.

這些變化延續(xù)了College Board的努力，為大學(xué)提供有關(guān)SAT考生高中的更多信息。隨著越來越多的大學(xué)放棄使用SAT作為入學(xué)要求，大學(xué)理事會面臨壓力，并且意識到那些對測試有利于經(jīng)濟(jì)條件好的群體的擔(dān)憂。

When the adversity index?was originally announced?-- after years of pilots -- in May, it received considerable criticism.

雖然經(jīng)過多年的試點 ，當(dāng)逆境指數(shù)最初五月份宣布，它仍受到了相當(dāng)多的批評。

The changes are：

▶The system will be called Landscape.

▶While the previous system provided one score summarizing information about the student's high school and neighborhood, the new system will provide separate scores on neighborhood and high school. (The College Board released?its methodology?for the two scores.)

▶The scores will be available to students, not just to the colleges to which they are applying.變化是：

▶系統(tǒng)將被稱為Landscape。

▶雖然之前的系統(tǒng)提供了一個總結(jié)有關(guān)學(xué)生的高中和社區(qū)信息的分?jǐn)?shù)，但新系統(tǒng)將提供關(guān)于鄰里和高中的單獨分?jǐn)?shù)。?（大學(xué)理事會發(fā)布了兩種分?jǐn)?shù)的方法論。）

▶分?jǐn)?shù)將提供給學(xué)生，而不僅僅是他們所申請的大學(xué)。

The measures will be added to the SAT next year and will not replace anything currently on the test.

這些措施將于明年加入SAT，并不會取代目前正在測試的任何內(nèi)容。

Robert Schaeffer, the public education director of FairTest, the National Center for Fair & Open Testing, and a long-standing critic of the College Board, said, "It's good that the College Board listened to the widespread criticism of their original plan and canceled efforts to assign a simplistic adversity score to each applicant.

FairTest的公共教育主管，國家公平和公開測試中心的Robert Schaeffer，以及大學(xué)理事會的長期評論家說：“大學(xué)理事會聽取了他們原計劃的廣泛批評，并取消了為每個申請人分配一個簡單的逆境分?jǐn)?shù)，這很好。

But, because the Landscape formula is based on overall averages from a student's high school and neighborhood, it still does not tell admissions offices much about the obstacles any given individual faced. And most of the data being repackaged by the College Board was previously available from high school profile reports and other sources."

但是，因為Landscape公式是基于學(xué)生的高中和社區(qū)的總體平均值，所以它仍然沒有告訴招生辦公室任何個人面臨的障礙。而且被大學(xué)理事會重新打包的大部分?jǐn)?shù)據(jù)都可以從高中檔案報告和其他來源獲得。”

It is unknown what share of colleges will seriously use Landscape.

目前尚不清楚哪些學(xué)院會認(rèn)真使用Landscape。
