Description
In this presentation Dr . Atkinson discusses his experience to convert country’s most widely used admissions examination , the SAT 1 , to a more advanced test , the SAT 2 . Dr . Atkinson was seeking a new test for college admission because he was convinced that this examination should require more writing skills , advanced knowledge of mathematics and a strong section on reading comprehension . After careful and extensive research , Dr . Atkinson was able to find evidence proving that the SAT 2 is a better predictor of college performance than SAT 1 . Based on his research the SAT 2 became an official test for college admissions in 2001 .
