[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But... willingness to sacrifice and do hard work also should correlate to ability to nail SATs. SAT test prep doesn't have to be a course, nor be an unaffordable expense for any household, if you are resourceful and willing to work at it.[/quote]Well, what you think should be the case and what the research shows don't always go together, eh?[/quote] There is no universal standard for what it takes to get a high GPA - it could also be that the disparity between low-SES high GPA and those same students not doing well on the SAT is that the schools where those low-SES students go have watered down their academic expectations, making it easier to get a high GPA. Researchers would want to have a control - something that is consistent across the sample - standards for hitting a certain GPA is inconsistent from one school to the next, but SAT scores are computed the same way no matter what SES or school.[/quote]
