[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to sound mean or judgey, but I am curious. I grew up poor in a developing, non-English speaking country, learned English as a second language in high school, studied the SAT books on my own for about 6 months and got higher than 1,300 on the first try, in a language other than my native one. So how are American kids with with educated parents and privileged backgrounds getting below 1,200? And yes, I had top grades at school, worked on the side too etc. [/quote] The majority of kids with educated parents score above 1200 (based on SAT/ACT research data). I believe the score is in the 1300s (e.g., the NY Times recently published an article that used current data to explain elite college admissions). Also, in the US, the weaker score is the Math section on the SAT. Of course, there will be kids, no matter their socioeconomic status, scoring in the average range (1000-1100). [/quote]
