So is anyone curious how test prep companies responded to the #testoptional movement?

Follow me down the rabbit hole

#TestPrep
#Commoducation
First let's touch on a little history:

1926 - first #SAT
1936 - Kaplan founded
1978 - first full sample SAT released by CB
1979 - "Truth-in- Testing" Act. passed in NY
1980 - CB begins selling 5 Real SATs
1981 - Princeton Review founded
So the test prep industry has largely grown lockstep with the testing industrial complex

(dear educational researchers and economists please do more work on the growth of private tutoring companies and shadow education in the US since 1930)

#NowReading a great article on "learning loss"

"Of course, the term "learning loss" comes from the language of test enthusiasts."

I love this, especially “an increase in correct responses is gain; a decrease is loss.”

Exposing so many of the problems that plague the way we use test scores and draw inappropriate conclusions from them. Image
Zing!

“Learning loss is a calculation masquerading as a concept”
