Higher EducationDaily's election'86 coverage continues on p.3.                \n\"Most test improvement companies are setting up shop in wealthy areas,\"saidWi1lie May,a mathematics instructional coordinator for the Chicago Board ofEducation。\"This is not surprising,since they are in business\"to make aprofit。\"But it raises serious equity concerns.A student whose parents canafford to spend $565 for a six-week test score improvement course has a remedi-al edge\"over those who cannot afford to enroll in such a program。  \nIn addition,while many financially healthy school districts offer SAT reviewcourses throughout the academlc year,urban and rural schools,which are oftenhard-pressed for funds,cannot afford to do so,the panelists said.  \nAl1 of that comes at a time when,despite the beliefs of many parents,mostcolleges and universities continue to view the SAT as only one factor to weighin making acceptance decisions,the panelists said.But they agreed that stu-dents who have taken an SAT review course often raise thelr scores somewhat,glving them an advantage over students who did not,since colleges and univer-sities have no way of knowing how a student prepared for the exam。  \n\"Thisis a test-taking society,\"said Dorothy D11lon,head of the Kent PlaceSchool in Summltt,N.J。\"And colleges are doing little to defuse\"parentalconcern over the perceived importance of the test.Many colleges also spendtoo much time bragging to each other about their students'collective SAT8cores,added R.Christine Royer,director of admlssions at Barna rd College inNew York City.(more)  \n     Oct ober 30,1986  \n# WEALTHY STUDENTS HAVE ADVANTAGE IN TAKING SAT(Cont.)\n\nDespite the cont roversy over whether review courses actually help 1mprove SATperformance,the panelists said the number of companies offerlng such serviceswil1 continue to grow as parents and students,in DIllon's words,continue toview the SAT\"as an adversary to be outwitted,rather than as a partner\"in theeducation process.  \nSome high schools even provide the names of review companies to students,while8ome test-1mprovement tutors have gained hallowed status among parents in somecommunities for the work they do,D1lon said.  \"Schools used to believe thatoffering a solid academic program was the best way to improve SAT scores,\"Dillon said.\"But that philosophy changed in the 1970s as [review]firms cameon the scene and parents were willing to pay for their services.\"  \nBeating the SAT now involves \"cracking the code,\"D11lon said,referring to thebook of the same name by the Princeton Review Co.In the past,such effortswere confined to getting students famdliar with the types of questions on thetest,she added.  \nBut some high schools have raised their collective SAT scores,although notwithout some soul-sea rching and hard work。Students at Shaker High School inLatham,N.Y.,for example,raised their test scores substantially from 1975 to1985 after the school","cbCailIud19mX3OH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailIud19mX3OH","pdf",2299956,"English","# WEALTHY STUDENTS HAVE ADVANTAGE IN TAKING SAT, EDUCATORS SAY\n## SAT review courses and equity concerns\n## College admissions and perceived test importance\n## Examples of district efforts to raise scores\n## Limits of spending increases and controversy over effectiveness\n# COLLEGE SPORTS PANEL DIES; WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE WILL STUDY ATHLETE DRUG USE\n## Omnibus anti-drug bill and lost commission provision\n## White House conference agenda on athletes and drug abuse\n## Legislative details and NCAA opposition","[{\"question\":\"Why do educators say wealthy students have an advantage on the SAT?\",\"answer\":\"Educators point to expensive SAT improvement programs concentrated in wealthy areas, which many lower-income families cannot access.
