<p>Actually, anyone interested in hearing about the development of the new SAT, written by UC Chancelor Atkinson himself, would find this series of excellent articles very interesting:

<p>In the last and 4th article in this series, there is a link <a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/sas/research/researchandplanning/pdf/sat_study.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu/sas/research/researchandplanning/pdf/sat_study.pdf</a> to a large scale study that the UC conducted comparing college achievement (measured by GPA) with SAT I and SAT II scores that is also very interesting. I think THIS is the kind of analysis that admissions offices and academic deans at most schools will be conducting in deciding how to use the new SAT data, not just comparing essays on an individual basis.</p>
