TOP AVG. SAT SCORE STATES: ALL IN "FLYOVER COUNTRY"

Opie Dopey thinks that population has nothing to do with SAT scores.

There are more people living in San Jose (population 1,013,240) city limits, than in....

Wyoming (Population: 581,075)
Vermont (Population: 623,251)
District of Columbia (Population: 714,153)
Alaska (Population: 724,357)
North Dakota (Population: 770,026)
South Dakota (Population: 896,581)
Delaware (Population: 990,334)

So, if you are not taking under consideration that more people living in any area, would naturally produce more Lower SAT scores, your comparison is that of comparing apples to oranges.

What an idiot to make that kind of a comparison.

Have you ever heard of the term Per Capita or even understand why most comparisons take that under consideration?

LOWEST AVERAGE SAT SCORES= DELAWARE; ANYONE SURPRISED BY THAT?

PRES.MORON FROM THE STATE WITH THE LOWEST SAT SCORES. NO KIDDING?

STATES IN "FLYOVER COUNTRY", AS THE ARROGANT IDIOTS REFER TO THE HEARTLAND, NEARLY ALL AVERAGE WELL OVER 1200 ON THEIR SATS.

CALIFORNIA? 1057


NEW YORK? 1057 (Equally stupid)


DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA? 987

ETC...ETC.....ETC....

"FLYOVER" THAT, BITCHES.

Obviously you got about 300 on your SAT since both your math and your reading skills suck.
The article you linked to is almost like a math word problem.

But wait—Minnesota also has lower test participation than most of the US at 2%. In other words, just 1,709 seniors who graduated in 2021 took the SAT. ...
Because more students in Minnesota take the ACT than they do the SAT, Minnesota's high average SAT score likely means that only the most prepared, ambitious high schoolers take the SAT.

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%).

When you compare states that have comparable numbers taking the test, you see something completely different in the data. You start to see that based on the percentages of students taking the test, blue states have higher scores than red states.

These are the states where 50-80% of students take the SAT, lowest scores to highest scores....

Florida 81% 993
Texas 59% 1003
Illinois 80% 1007
Rhode Island 68% 1011
Michigan 68% 1031
New York 55% 1057
New Hampshire 71% 1065
Colorado 56% 1072
Connecticut 69% 1072

These are the states where 30-48% of students take the SAT, lowest scores to highest scores

New Mexico 30% 996
West Virginia 45% 1007
South Carolina 48% 1036
Maryland 47% 1073
Georgia 41% 1086
Indiana 43% 1095
Pennsylvania 39% 1123
Vermont 41% 1124
New Jersey 48% 1125
Virginia 41% 1151
Massachusetts 34% 1184

The problem is not the population but the percentages of eligible students that take the test. If only 2% of eligible students take the SAT in MN and 81% take the test in FL, you are comparing the top 2% of students in MN to the top 81% of students in FL. Hardly a fair comparison. If you were to compare MN to FL with ACT scores you might see the exact opposite results with FL scoring higher.

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.

Why would you doubt that? Because you have never heard of the ACT? Your speculation is easily disproved.

University of Minnesota requires that all applicants submit either SAT or ACT scores. During the 2018-19 admissions cycle, 89% of admitted students submitted ACT scores.

And if you take out Wisconsin and Minnesota, those flyover States fare poorly, as does those southern ruby red States

That's where the universities are dummy. Doesn't mean the students are from there.

You do realize those are all ACT states. Most seniors are taking the ACT test, not the SATs. The only seniors who would take the SATs in those states are students planning on either leaving for the East Coast, or California. Those would be the best seniors, with the other college bound seniors taking ACT.

My question here is how do you not know that?

Iowa pushes the ACT, not SAT

so this could be skewed - the only kids in Iowa that take the SAT are from influential families that plan to send them out east - or to Northwestern

Zymurgy actually has some education... Unlike so many others.

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?

Delaware uses the SATs to rate high schools. It shows them what is working, and what is not working. Republicans used to be pro-testing, but now that they found out their ideas do not perform well, they are anti-testing.
