*Features* Cover Type: Hard Cover with 240 pages Published by: RoutledgeFalmer Edition: 1st Edition March 22, 2002 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0415925592 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0415925594 Book Dimensions: 9.2 x 6.3 x 0.9 inches Weighs: 1.1 pounds *Product Review* Fair Game is essential for policymakers and educators who need a readable and balanced grasp of admissions testing before they act. Many testing policy debates are replete with charges and counter charges about testing that are partial and misleading. Fair Game is comprehensive, and ends with new research-based directions for policy.. –Michael Kirst, Professor of Education, Stanford University School of Education Fair Game? is even-handed and fun to read. Rebecca Zwick demolishes long-standing testing myths on both sides of the political spectrum.. –Paul W. Holland, Director, ETS Center for Statistical Theory and Practice This book is essential for policymakers and educators seeking a balanced grasp of admissions testing. Rebecca Zwick's clear and thorough contribution offers new research-based directions for policy.. –Michael Kirst, Stanford University Zwick does a superb job of demonstrating that these tests are part of greater social and educational problems that cannot be solved simply by eliminating their use. I know of no other book that tackles this issue in such easy to use language.. –Patricia Gándara, author of Over the Ivy Walls: The Educational Mobility of Low-Income Chicanos *Product Description* Drawing on her many years as an analyst for the ETS (Educational Testing Service), which develops and administers these exams, educator Rebecca Zwick offers the first balanced overview of the many-headed debate about the usefulness and reliability of standardized tests. Amidst the hysteria, pressure, and fear that surrounds college admissions, Fair Game? demystifies the world of testing to present a commonsense view of the system, warning that eliminating the tests -- as recently proposed in California -- may not level the playing field for minorities.
