A more interesting statistic would be the (percentage) change in the number of students whose scores indicate that they are college-ready. Increasing that number is, presumably, what these get-more-kids-to-take-the-SAT programs are about.
- user982 7y agoAccording to the article that percentage dropped to 45% from 47% last year, but since ~100,000 more students took the exam the absolute number of college-ready graduates rose by ~3000.
- knappa 7y agoThank you, the corresponding Washington Post article (which I have access to) does not seem to have that information.
- user982 7y agoGiven only the above values, how many students took the SAT this year?
- username90 7y agoIf I am reading this right, we added 100k students got 3k new college ready ones? So 3%? Seems like we are grasping at straws here. Or is college readiness trending down for other reasons?
