COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD
Memorandum for: Recipients of scores for students who took the College Board
Achievement Test in American History and Social Studies in
March 1963
Beginning with this academic year, the College Board is offering both
an American History and Social Studies Test and a European History and World
Cultures Test instead of the single Social Studies Test that was part of the
College Board testing program for many years. The decision by the College
Board to offer these new tests was prompted by changes over recent years
that have taken place in secondary school curriculums and in the admissions
testing schedules of many colleges. After reviewing these changes, the
College Board judged that two tests would provide better measurement and
more meaningful information than could be provided by the single Social
Studies Test.
The American History and Social Studies Test, the only one of the two
new tests offered in March 1963, is primarily a test of American history.
However, it contains a small number of questions that deal especially with
American political and economic institutions and which are based on the
content of secondary school economics and government courses. These areas
were also covered by the earlier Social Studies Test, but less intensively,
since that test also included some questions devoted to world history.
Scores on the new test are on the College Board scale and may be
interpreted in the same way as scores on other College Board Achievement
Tests.* The following table presents a distribution of American History
and Social Studies scores of students tested in December 1962 or in
January 1963.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD
Memorandum for: Recipients of scores for students who took the College Board
Achievement Tests in Biology and Chemistry
In recent years a number of secondary schools have introduced new courses
in the sciences which differ in varying degrees from the more traditional
courses in these subjects. As part of its normal score reporting operation
the College Board has analyzed the test results of the students trained in
these new curricula in an attempt to determine whether they are at a dis-
advantage in comparison with students taking the more traditional courses.
These analyses at the time of score reporting represent an attempt to develop
score interpretation information during a period when more extensive research
is underway but has not been completed.
Analysis of the Chemistry Test administered in May 1962, has led to the
conclusion that when students in two new curricula, developed by the Chemical
Bond Approach (CBA) and the Chemical Education Material Study (CHEMS), are
tested at or near the completion of a course, they may be at a 20 to 25 point
disadvantage when compared with students of equal competence taking traditional
chemistry courses. On this basis we urge college admissions officers to give
extra attention to the student's course of study in the few instances where
a decision might hinge on a difference of this magnitude. Secondary schools
that have adopted these new curricula are requested to indicate on their
transcripts that they have done so.
This statement represents a change from our prior statements that there
seemed to be no disadvantage for these students on the Chemistry Test. The
study in May 1962 followed the same procedures as those used in earlier
studies. However, it provided more dependable evidence than the earlier
studies because, for the May administration, there were about five times as
many examinees from the new chemistry curricula as there had been in past
administrations. It should be noted that other limitations associated with
analyses of data from the normal score reporting process remain. These
results, then, are not considered definitive.
The problem of providing unbiased measurement for students from different
curricula will remain under study during the coming year. We expect that
additional information about chemistry will be available following the
administration of the Chemistry Test in May 1963.
Because the numbers of examinees from the Biological Sciences Curriculum
Study (BSCS) have remained small, it has not been possible to do an intensive
analysis of the Biology Test. What evidence there is seems to indicate that
the Biology Test is appropriate for students from the new biology curricula.
In this case too, however, we would suggest that it might be advisable for an
admissions officer to give special attention to students from these curricula
if a decision hinges on a small score difference.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD
Memorandum for: Recipients of scores for students who took the College
Board Achievement Tests in Biology and Chemistry in
March, 1962
In recent years a number of secondary schools have introduced new
science courses in biology and chemistry. The new courses, developed by
various curriculum study groups, differ in varying degree from the more
traditional courses in these subjects. As a result, the question has
been asked: Are students who have studied the new courses at a disadvantage
when they take College Board Achievement Tests in Biology and Chemistry?
This memorandum is intended to serve as a guide in the interpretation
of test scores for students who have studied certain of the new curricula.
New chemistry curricula: Two new chemistry courses are now being offered
in some schools to relatively large numbers of students: One is being
developed by the Chemical Bond Approach Project (CBA); the other is being
developed by the Chemical Education Material Study (CHEMS). Both have
been introduced into schools so recently that they affect a relatively
small number of candidates taking College Board tests this year. (Schools
using the new chemistry curricula have been encouraged to notify the
colleges to which their students are applying for admission that these
students have had this different instruction.)
In order to evaluate the implication of curriculum changes for test
score interpretation as quickly as possible, the College Board has con-
ducted a two-phase study. First, qualified people closely associated with
the development of the CBA and CHEMS curricula reviewed the December 1961,
January 1962 and March 1962 College Board Chemistry tests. Each reviewer
was asked to judge the appropriateness of each question in these tests for
candidates who had completed a one-year course in the new curricula.
With these judgments available, it was possible to undertake the
second phase of the study: an analysis of the test scores obtained by
students from schools using the new curricula, in comparison with scores
of students of similar ability who had studied more traditional chemistry
courses.
Studies were made for students who had completed a year of either the
CBA or CHEMS curriculum and who, in addition, had taken the College Board
Chemistry test in December 1961 or March 1962. In each study the scores
of students from a special curriculum were compared with the scores of
students of similar ability who had studied more conventional chemistry
courses. The general measures of ability used in the two studies were
-2-
scores on the test questions judged to be appropriate for students in the
special curricula. These comparisons indicated that students from schools
using either of these courses were at no important disadvantage on the
College Board Chemistry test.
New biology curricula: Three new biology courses - all being developed
by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) and known as the Blue,
Green and Yellow versions - have recently been introduced into some
schools. In view of the fact that biology is primarily a sophomore
course in secondary school, and that these new courses were introduced
within the last year or two, very few high school students taking
College Board tests this year have studied the new courses.
The College Board, however, has made a preliminary study similar
to the first phase of the study conducted for the new chemistry curricula:
Qualified people closely connected with the development of each of the
three BSCS courses were asked to review the College Board Biology tests
administered in December 1961, January 1962 and March 1962. Each
reviewer was asked to indicate the extent to which he thought the test
questions were appropriate for candidates who had completed a year of
study in one of the BSCS courses. These judgments appear to indicate
that the College Board Biology test should provide as good a measure of
the ability of the students in any of the three versions of the BSCS
curriculum as the Chemistry test provides for the students in the
special chemistry curricula.
Since there is not yet enough information to make a meaningful
analysis of the performance of BSCS students on the College Board
Biology test, any judgments about the appropriateness of the test for
such students remain tentative. Detailed studies will be carried out
as soon as possible.

I'm
with
IBM
and I enjoy it. It's my job to interest senior
executives in modern methods of financial and
management control. I work with them in a
study of their requirements and I'm responsible
for planning and installing data processing
systems to suit their needs. I left a good,
well-paid job four years ago to join IBM, and
since then I've more than doubled my income.
In a company that's growing as fast as IBM
there are many such opportunities and the
chance of rapid promotion. The standards
are high but so are the rewards.
IBM want to engage and train men (under 35) with
experience of commerce or industry to do the same
sort of job that I am doing. If you have a degree or
professional qualification, so much the better. There
are vacancies throughout the country, so get in
touch with W.M.R. Jeffreys at 101 Wigmore Street,
London W.1. WELbeck 6600.
