The Widening Racial Scoring Gap on the SAT College Admissions Test
The Widening Racial Scoring Gap on the SAT College Admissions Test
(2009)

The racial scoring gap on the SAT test has now become Wider than has been the case for the past two decades. Many believe that in the years to come the gap may grow smaller, not because blacks are catching up to whites in educational achievement, but rather because the test makers are adding a writing component to the test that may be manipulated to Lessen Racial Differences and therefore reduce public criticisms of the test.

For many decades The College Board has used a 200 to 800 scoring scale of performance for both the verbal and mathematical sections of the Scholastic Assessment Test. Now a writing component has been added to the SAT. From now on, students will receive three scores each ranging between 200 and 800. In the past a 1600 has been the best possible score on the composite SAT. Hereafter, the best composite score will be 2400. This means that this year's test results will be the last time JBHE will be able to compare black-white SAT scores based on the scoring system that has been used since racial differences in test results were first made public in 1976.

Explaining the Black-White SAT Gap

But there is a major Flaw in the thesis that income differences explain the racial gap. Consider these three observable facts from The College Board's 2005 data on the SAT:

• Whites from families with incomes of Less than $10,000 had a mean SAT score of 993. This is 129 points Higher than the national mean for all blacks.

• Whites from families with incomes below $10,000 had a mean SAT test score that was 61 points Higher than blacks whose families had incomes of between $80,000 and $100,000.

• Blacks from families with incomes of more than $100,000 had a mean SAT score that was 85 points Below the mean score for whites from all income levels, 139 points Below the mean score of whites from families at the same income level, and 10 points Below the average score of white students from families whose income was less than $10,000.

Everyone in, ie, Ann Arbor Michigan except blacks taking practice tests IM2 you MORON?
They've even tried different tests, have Blacks on the board (quoted here) and the Gap not only persists, but Increases.
40 years and counting in just Ann Arbor (not inner city)

SAT scores improve in Ann Arbor Schools, but Achievement Gap Persists
Posted Nov 2, 2017
SAT scores improve in Ann Arbor Schools, but achievement gap persists

Ann Arbor Public Schools saw its students' average SAT scores improve this year and continue to exceed the statewide average, but some members of the board of education still were alarmed by the results.

At a meeting on Oct. 25, the school board reviewed the results from the SAT taken by all high school juniors in April. Overall, the average SAT score for AAPS students improved from 1160.3 in 2016 to 1192.9 in 2017.

The highest possible SAT score is 1600, and the statewide average this year was 1007.6.

However, AAPS' SAT results showed the average scores for Black students, Hispanic students and special education students Dropped from 2016 to 2017. The average SAT scores for economically disadvantaged AAPS students, students who are learning English as a second language and special education students also lag behind the district-wide average.

"I'm in a panic. I'll be very honest with you," said Susan Baskett (Black), vice president of the school board. "I've been on this board for how many years. We keep changing tests, but No matter which tests they are and Who creates them, there's Always that certain group that's there."

"I've been in education for 40 years, and this issue, this discrepancy between student groups and achievement, has been there for 40 years and obviously longer," said Jeff Gaynor, board secretary. "We're clearly all concerned. There's clearly no easy answers, no simple mechanical answers. We know that achievement scores can be correlated with family education and wealth. But I do think we need to look at every possible factor. We need to return to, as we said, 'courageous conversations' about Race, about class."
......

Farly extensive category breakdown by Ann Arbor schools. Race/ethnicity, Income, even English Language learners. The latter is ahead of blacks in 2017!

Blacks now 400 points behind Asians and almost 300 vs Whites. Dropping 30 of them this year.
Maybe they can add Hoops or 100m times into the test.

And 944 out of 1600?
Without the 400 point signing bonus, that's 544 out of 1200.
Probably still make Princeton over Asians due to AA.

I'm other words, IM2 failed miserably at the S.A.T test, therefore the test must be racist.


Heaven forbid anybody point out that he is the reason he is a complete failure and not some imaginary racist system out to get him.

Since I took the ACT and scored in the top ten percentile...

I can guarantee I've done better than you. And that's with having to knock down hurdles racists like you tried putting before me. You could have never done it. Because whites like are crying about an affirmative action that doesn't exist because you can't be given everything. Hard work has never been a white tradition. That's why your ancestors bought slaves to work the free land the government gave them.

Headrights, read about em junior. You do know how to read don't you?

If you were actually any sort of success in life, your every single posting would not involve such childish whining for a racial pity party.

Kinda funny how it's usually the people you already knew were stupid who later tell you that IQ tests don't mean anything.
