[quote=Anonymous][quote]That's completely backwards actually. Blacks get worse grades in college than their sat score would predict. Most studies have not found any significant bias in tests, and even the few that claim to only find a small amount on the verbal section
, and none on the math. Indeed, the gap on the math section is larger than the gap on the verbal section.

With regards to amount of prep, there have been multiple studies that show that blacks actually engage in more test prep than other groups. One quote: "Black non-Hispanic students are more likely to participate in test prep, and there are also significant interaction effects of race and grade level on prep, with black 11th graders having the highest predicted probability of prep."

No idea if the quality of the prepping was taken into account, but most studies show that prepping has fairly modest impact on average; about 50 points or so. [/quote]
