The Right

Will permitting the use of calculators artificially increase SAT math test scores? A. Not at all, so they should be allowed. B. Yes, so they should be banned. C. Only marginally, so they should be allowed—but scores should be adjusted to offset the effect. The folks who run the Scholastic Aptitude Test, which will allow the use of calculators during the college entrance examination starting next year, initially said the correct answer was A. Critics insisted the right answer was B. Now, after a field test on calculator use involving 200,000 students last spring, the testing service has disclosed that C is their answer.
