The SAT is for kids going to College. Maybe the US needs to re-think the policy that every teen has to go on to College.
I guess the hard-working, underpaid, selfless “educators” aren’t doing their jobs too effectively.
#winning!
What are people expecting when the teachers of today are telling our kids stupid, irrational answers to simple questions, like: Where does dew come from.?
Answer (created by radical left’s teachers): The sun shines down and makes the plant sweat. [This was an actual answer on a SAT test].
And they teach that so the child will buy the “climate-change; global warming garbage”.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO LEARN ..??????????????
The truth is - when the sun shines down, the plant wilts; unless it’s watered properly.
Time to dumb-down the SAT.
Let’s make everyone in the education-industrial complex look good.
The Democrat dumbing down of America seems to be working. The Democrats finally did something that actually worked.
One of the consequences of “Third World” governance.
I keep hoping someone will create an Ebonics SAT, after which I will enjoy a very satisfying laugh when the white kids score higher than the Black kids.
Anyone here want to bet that the SAT scores have been dropping since the creation of the U.S. Dept. of Education.
What ever happened to the A-C-T test? I remember taking it not the SAT.
oh gee I wonder why?
I bet the girls pass their pregnancy tests.
Don’t worry, universal preschool will take care of that.
I wonder what might ever be the cause?

It’s a source of mixed amusement and despair to see the media simultaneously celebrate a) a declining white population of American while lamenting b) declining average SAT scores.
Scores on the SAT have sunk to the lowest level since the college admission test was overhauled in 2005, adding to worries about student performance in the nation’s high schools.
The average score for the Class of 2015 was 1490 out of a maximum 2400, the College Board reported Thursday. That was down 7 points from the previous class’s mark and was the lowest composite score of the past decade. There were declines of at least 2 points on all three sections of the test — critical reading, math and writing.
The steady decline in SAT scores and generally stagnant results from high schools on federal tests and other measures reflect a troubling shortcoming of education-reform efforts. The test results show that gains in reading and math in elementary grades haven’t led to broad improvement in high schools, experts say. That means several hundred thousand teenagers, especially those who grew up poor, are leaving school every year unready for college.
One can only conclude that the journalists writing articles like these didn’t do very well on the SAT themselves. It’s not as if it’s any great mystery what happens when lower IQ populations are permitted to invade a higher IQ population; both England and Denmark have observed statistically significant decreases in average IQ since their immigrant populations began to grow.
Diversity is intrinsically opposed to Progress of any sort that involves a) technology, b) wealth, or c) quality of life.
Educational achievement is not actively encouraged in most Mexican households.
Lachrymose is to dyspeptic as ebullient is to ..............
I know how to increase the scores. Test them on sexual perversion, global warming, the evils of the U.S. Founding Fathers, and other leftist nonsense. That’s what the schools are teaching. That’s what they will score high on.
Dumbing down is working.
Watch the states where pot is taking over.
The hell with being smart, get stoned.
No wonder they want sober foreign workers.
Bush’s fault - as predictable as the tides.
