An example of “when the argument is lost, change the subject”.

Really? I can tell you without even looking it up that 95% of high school graduates in Delaware don't end up going to college. Some smaller percentage do. Yet, according to YOU 96% of all high school graduates in Delaware take the SAT. That indicates to me that the state is forcing every student to take the test whether it is necessary or not. Hence, my counter position that is in-line with what YOU stated. That isn't change the subject, but simply putting a different perspective on what YOU stated.
It's clear that 96% of students coming out of high school in Delaware don't need to take the SAT, so why force them to? What does the state or student get out of that? Why not spend the money wasted on testing students that don't need an SAT score on something those students can benefit from instead?
Yeah, really. What can be learned from percentages that tell you one percent of high school students in Mississippi are potential college material vs an unknowable percentage in Delaware based 96 percent who took the test?
Nothing definitive, but the comparison is highly suggestive that Mississippi produces a remarkably low number of college students. The only meaningful comparison is between states with competitive percentages of test takers,
as in the cited Massachusetts example. If you refute this you are either gaslighting or dumb as Sailor.
Indeed!

Well, in the Mississippi case it could be other factors such as income or availability of the test that result in a 1% take rate. Of course, I couldn't be sure on that, but it makes sense that in terms of intellect more than 1% of Mississippians are college capable while less than 96% of Delawarians are.
so, after doing some research, this thread is a perfect example of stats can be used to say anything

Unfortunately, Delaware underperforms the national average by more than 75 points. This is likely due to the high percentage of seniors who took the SAT in Delaware (96%). In other states where less than 5% of seniors took the SAT, it's likely only the most prepared students taking the SAT, thus bumping up the average.

I stated a FACT, and then BACKED IT UP WITH THE DATA. PERIOD.
so did I.
the states that did well did well because only the smart ones that plan on going out East take the SAT. the results are skewed heavily as a result
No, you've added a lot of SPECULATION from the link as to who did what why...etc
AKA: "BULLSHIT". I just posted the scores, which cannot be changed via speculation.
In addition, I'm not so sure that the site has the participation rates correct.
Only 2% of Minnesota kids took the SAT? I doubt that.
not really. I showed how you are taking advantage of states that don't compel testing - or test for the ACT - not the SAT -

people that have closed minds and ignore data that refutes their closed mind tend to debate like you do.
No, you cited the "explanations" for certain states' scores from the blog site = "speculation".
They do not know what they guess at.
This has long been an established fact that those schools with a higher percentage of students attending (or planning to attend) college have a lower SAT score than states with a much smaller percent attending. Therefore, only the top students take the test in some states resulting in a higher average score while most students take it in others resulting in a lower average score.
Also, in some states a much large percent attend community college and most are open admissions and require no SAT.
someone with a low ACT score said said:
this is incredibly retarded. In Iowa - the 2.4 % of students that took the SAT scored higher than the 95.2% that took the test in Delaware
and you now know Iowa high school kids are more intelligent
NO
What we know is when you and I line up - you are dumber. this exchange tells us that and only that.
