“This Year’s SAT Scores Are Out, and They’re Grim ‘
Democrats are rejoicing — more future voters for them.
I’m very proud of my son who is waiting for a letter from Hillsdale college. He submitted an early decision application for admission there. He scored well over 2000 on the SAT and 34 on the ACT. Early decision notifications go out in December (although I already have the Hillsdale decal in the car back window).
When (if) he arrives on campus next fall, he’ll be an average student there. It might be a bit of an adjustment. The bechmark scores in this report mean nothing to schools like Hillsdale.
I happened to be listening to Glen Beck yesterday,and he was asking people simple questions,the branches of gov.,where is Libya,what is precipitation and few people could answer. Was that for real?
The SAT gets enough flak as it is because the math questions are somehow biased against women and the math and the verbal are somehow biased against minorities. Now we will be hearing calls for a new, “unbiased” SAT to be made in order to ensure white males have the highest score.
And the worst part - all of those who scored dismally will be going to college, and most won’t be paying a nickel of their own money to do so. And many of them won’t finish and those that do will have to be held to grotesquely low standards.
BTW, a little math shows that the 71% non-black, non-Hispanic group, which is composed of almost all whites and Asians had a 46% rate of exceeding the threshold of likely college success, as compared to 15.6% and 23.5% success threshold for blacks and Hispanics respectively. I guess that’s why the white/Asian success rate wasn’t published.
