[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Superscoring, [b]many more domestic Asian and international applicants[/b]. More test takers. More prep. More of everything. That's why 1400 isn't that great of a score.[/quote]

Nonsense and bigoted.[/quote]

Definitely not worded the best, but the PP has a point.

In 2023, Asian students achieved the highest average SAT score of 1219.

Asian students' average score was 318 points higher than the average SAT score of Black American Indian/Alaska Native students, which was 901.

Yes, Asian Americans have high test scores. They prep; they study.  Why is that wrong?  Do other races not study or prep for exams? Perhaps they should.

And before you say that those poor kids don't have the money to pay for prep, there are free services. My kid used Khan Academy to study for their SATs; test prep books are also available at the library; our HS offers free test prepping classes.

My DC went to a free AP test prepping class the other day offered by the HS.  There were mostly Asians, a few white kids.  This was a free service on a Saturday afternoon.

As the saying goes.. where there is a will, there is a way.  I grew up lower income to immigrant parents. My awful HS didn't have these free services. If they had, I would've taken it.[/quote]
