>The SAT might have cultural biases
I believe this is overstated in current versions of the test. I have seen how cultural bias is mitigated on these and other tests, a battery of stats are run on the raw item scoring and if a question is found to disproportionally punish a particular group captured in the demographics section, the question is thrown out of scoring even if the reason isn't clear on review.
