[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of those countries only test the kids who have tested into college prep programs. Test only the kids in AP/IB classes and the US would have the same results. [/quote] Are you so sure about that? No knock on the families that immigrated but a lot of the Asian kids that come over to America in K-12 were not the smartest kids in the classes that they departed from. In many cases they couldn't keep up. However, very many of these kids have been the top students in their class in American schools in the best school districts in not only math and science, but also in other subjects even though English is not their native language. This has been true for at least 40 years. It's the whole reason why holistic admissions was invented.[/quote]
