Standardized tests like these are always biased against gender, socio-economic, and racial minorities.

I dont believe it. I did just fine and overall in my class the women did better than the men. It is just a excuse. Maybe its time to take responsibilty and stop making lame excuses. Women, Men, he shes, its, blacks, whites, tans, yellows, greens all have the same chance.

Trust me on this. I've sat on review committees analyzing standardized test student responses for the state, I'm not pulling this claim out from nowhere. Heck, I've written test items that appear on standardized tests in my state (apologies to some of you in the community for that).

There's got to be an intertube full of supporting literature to document this, but I'll reach for an example from the top of my head instead, because this is OT and not S-OT. Imagine a reading test has a text that talks about camping in the mountains. Kids who are familiar with such an activity or concept would have an advantage, because they have schema already built and they have experiences to bridge back to. Would you expect urban / rural kids to score the same? What about low SES / high SES kids?
