English term or phrase: adversity score
Definition from Cambridge Blog:
A number of points assigned to a student applying to go to university or college representing their social and economic background, designed to show the university or college what difficulties the student has overcome.

Example sentence(s):
  • The College Board, the company that administers the SAT exam, said on Tuesday that it would withdraw its much-debated plan to include a so-called adversity score on student test results, saying it had erred in distilling the challenges faced by college applicants to a single number. The New York Times
  • As an education researcher who focuses on matters of equity, I believe the new adversity score will be an inadequate remedy for a test that has been inequitable from the start. The Conversation
  • Ironically, though, while an adversity score might have bettered my chances in college admissions, my mother would have adamantly objected to it. The things that the index hopes to capture were also the things that she wished to hide. The New Yorker

ocjena poteškoća


Definition from own experience or research:
Postoji ideja (mislim da se još uvijek ne primjenjuje) da se pri polaganju SAT testa za upis na američka sveučilišta procjenjuju i poteškoće polagača (npr. stopa kriminala i siromaštva u području iz kojega učenik dolazi, dohodak kućanstva učenika i kvaliteta učenikove srednje škole itd.)
Polagači će dobivati između 1 i 100 bodova, s time da više bodova signalizira višu razinu poteškoća.

Example sentence(s):
  • College Board rekao je da ocjena poteškoća neće uzimati u obzir rasu učenika. Međutim, mnogi kritičari takvog načina ocjenjivanja istakli su da ocjena ovisi o mnogim čimbenicima koji su u velikoj mjeri povezani s rasom. Ove jeseni, 150 koledža planira koristiti ocjenu poteškoća u svojim procesima upisa novih studenata. - Konzerva
