1993: The SAT is renamed

[edit]

By the late 1980s, the College Board was considering changes to its testing program and had asked a group of educators and administrators from high schools and colleges to form a commission to review and advise the College Board proposals. In 1990, the commission suggested that the title SAT, which up until this time was an initialism for Scholastic Aptitude Test, should be renamed Scholastic Assessment Test because the test could "no longer be accurately described as a test of aptitude".[1][2] In 1993, the College Board changed the name of the test to "SAT I: Reasoning Test" and changed the name of the Achievement Tests to "SAT II: Subject Tests".[3] Together, all of these tests were to be collectively known as the Scholastic Assessment Tests. The president of the College Board at the time said that the name change was meant "to correct the impression among some people that the SAT measures something that is innate and impervious to change regardless of effort or instruction."[4]

SAT scores for admitted applicants to highly selective colleges in the United States (for example, those in the Ivy League) were typically much higher. For example, the score ranges of the middle 50% of admitted applicants to Princeton University in 1985 were 600 to 720 (verbal) and 660 to 750 (math).[11] Similarly, median scores on the modified SAT for freshmen entering Yale University in the fall of 1995 were 670 (verbal) and 720 (math).[12]
