Memphis hoopster and heralded recruit Robert Dozier notched a 670 on the math portion of his SAT in 2003, which put him in the nation’s 89th percentile. Nothing to see here, right? Not so fast. Ironically, subtraction — in this case, the difference between his first SAT score and second SAT score — may actually be his biggest problem.
From ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach:
[Dozier] took the SAT for the first time on Dec. 6, 2003, about five months after he verbally committed to play for the Tigers. Dozier scored a 1,260 of a possible 1,600…
Educational Testing Service, the nonprofit company that develops, administers and scores the SAT, opened an investigation of Dozier’s test scores in June 2004. In a June 14, 2004 letter to Dozier, ETS officials told him that “we believe there appears to be substantial evidence that your scores [on the SAT] are invalid. Our preliminary concerns are based on a comparison of the handwriting on your answer sheet with the handwriting on other documents such as your registration form and external documents.”
ETS officials offered Dozier a chance to validate his earlier scores by taking the SAT again. Dozier took the test in July 2004 and scored 720 — 540 points lower than his earlier score.
Moral of the story… if you’re Chuckie Sullivan, don’t have Will Hunting take your SAT for you.
