About this course:

College-bound students encounter a series of standardized examinations as they progress toward college admission. The PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement tests are the most common. Topics include what each exam tests for, validity of test results, issues of bias, and the effect of coaching.
