Well for some people it’s all of the above, time, effort and money. Eliminate the SAT. It’s become a game that some are unaware they are even involved in.

You don’t think we do? We bust our rears just to make sure people don’t assume we are not worthy. We have to jumo through many other hurdles just to even out the playing field. College admissions is just one factor in “making it” in the US.


If this is actually true then that makes the SAT gap even harder to explain.


Yes, if the black SAT scores truly reflect "busting our rears" then something is very, very wrong.


SAT scores don’t tell the whole story.


They tell a huge piece of the story, though. Anyone with a rudimentary education should be able to find the angles of a parallelogram.

Is the SAT a fair measure of aptitude if only a select group of people are able to prep, pay thousands of $$$ for prep courses that ensure a high SAT score? And still then take the SAT as many times as legally possible until they achieve the highest score. Then others, poorer kids, are unable to afford any prep, maybe a How To book or something but that’s it. They take it once, get an average score and call it a day.


However you like essays you can't even tell who actually wrote it. Rich people can hire professional writers with $$$
Oxymorons LMFAO

I’m not rich so I don’t know. I couldn’t afford a prep course or a hired writer. I know it’s hard for you to fathom. I took the SAT twice, received average scores, I’m worth more than a standardized test score, and wrote my own essay.


You can go to a good state school

If we’d stop the years of expensive prep courses, you’d be average at best.


People who care more and invset more time, money, efforts deserves more


Well, here it is. This explains a lot.


In fact, I like it very much if you are proponent of natural intelligence.
Maybe use IQ test or something.

Asians would like that very much.

However, still I think hard work and effort should be valued little more.

Wrong assumptions and lies. You have no evidence for saying those.

I have personal first hand experience with this. I have seen it. I am old, I know how the system works. Granted there are some naturally brilliant geniuses out there, but that is extremely rare. People pay to inflate their scores.

That only means you prepped. You have no evidence all other people did the same thing as you claimed.
I’d trust my own poop more than anything coming out of a liberal’s mouth.

I didn’t take a course to prep for the SAT. I have friends who did, their scores increased as promised after paying big bucks. For some, this resulted in attending a state school without prepping vs an ivy after prepping. Unreal.

Let’s try and see, eliminate all extra pricey courses and see what happens.

And only take the SAT twice, that should be the limit. It’s a scam, this SAT nonsense.


And for the NFL, NBA, limit HS and college practice hours to 30 mins per day. No additional prepping cuz in this PC world, that's called "cheating." We need to level the playing field.

Interesting chart. The US is 29th and the couple who occupy Greenland came in at #18 (congratulations to Sven & Matilda !).
