WASHINGTON — The controversial new writing section of the SAT is a better predictor of college freshman grades than its math and critical-reading sections, according to findings released Tuesday by the organization that administers the test.
The conclusion by the College Board partially rebuts critics who argue that the writing section isn’t a good measure of writing skill and favors women and white students.
Overall, however, the studies found that the new and longer SAT test is no better at predicting success than the old one.
