[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]that was before rich people realized that you could prepare for tests- now there is a direct correlation between affluence and SAT scores

It isn't only rich people who prep for standardized tests.

"An analysis of 2010 census data by an NYU-based urban-policy think tank found that the city’s majority-Asian neighborhoods are more economically depressed than those of most other racial distributions: Their average household income of less than $52,000, for example, was less than that of majority-black neighborhoods. That same report found that fewer than a quarter of the adults (25 years or older) living in the majority-Asian neighborhoods at the time had a bachelor’s degree or higher"
