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

Puntuacion por nivel de adversidad

Definition from own experience or research:
The score is given depending on the level of hardship the student has overcome. That entire idea cannot be summarized in two words in Spanish. Compare Consejera de violencia domestica vs. Consejera en asuntos de violencia domestica. In Spanish, we need more than two words to express this idea thoroughly.

Example sentence(s):

Así que estemos pendiente de nuestras respuestas y cada vez que nos sintamos abrumados o tristes por una adversidad, debemos reflexionar y decirnos internamente; “No puedo desmayar, tengo que levantarme de este tropiezo….debo ser fuerte…..tengo que fortalecer mi Coeficiente de Adversidad Personal”. - https://enriquecetupsicologia.com/articu

https://www.zocalo.com.mx/opinion/opi-interna/premiar-el-fra...

hoy los administradores del examen anuncian planes para incluir un ‘puntaje de adversidad’ para los estudiantes que toman el SAT. Este puntaje ‘justificará’ los malos resultados de las pruebas si el estudiante vive en un vecindario con un alto índice de delincuencia, asistió a una escuela secundaria deficiente, vive con un solo padre o en un hogar de bajos ingresos, y así sucesivamente.

Example sentence(s):

Según Education Dive, Florida State University (FSU) probó el puntaje de adversidad como parte de un programa piloto - https://doralfamilyjournal.com/sat-tendr
