Not just the rich. I was an immigrant kid, and knew plenty of other immigrant kids. None of our families had much money, but we all had a do-or-die attitude about education and the SAT. You can bet we all knew about prep options, scholarships, etc. and we milked every advantage for all it was worth.
- abenga 4y agoI think immigrants as a group self-select for "determination to improve" to a certain extent, and probably teach that outlook to their children.
- nomel 4y agoIn my public school, the SAT was never discussed during school. Not once, until the test was announced, the week before. No other information, besides “The SAT is next week”. This was after a long stretch of standardized testing that happens in CA schools. It’s definitely something you had to know/find out about, outside of everything. This was in a well off community in California, US.
