SAT Averages by Race and Ethnicity, 2013

[Unkotare]

you are incorrect that exposure to practise questions will not improve scores somewhat even if the student is not particularly diligent. familiarity with the process cuts down the time needed, and allows for more questions to be answered. as well, if you have actually seen some of the questions beforehand, the correct answer is easier to pick out of the distractors..

That effect is seen only if the student actually participates in the class, takes the practice tests, etc. Some sullen teen just filling a chair might as well be sleeping (as such chair-fillers often do).

unfair as this may sound, a smart sullen chairfiller will often learn more than a dull but attentive keener. .

No they won't. They will just bring more ability to the table to begin with. And most sullen slack-asses are NOT all that intelligent.

unfair as this may sound, a smart sullen chairfiller will often learn more than a dull but attentive keener. the ability to learn is innate. smart people learn faster and better, leaving them more time to learn even more stuff. that is why the gap widens with more schooling. not only that but there are threshholds for certain types of things. the armed forces consider IQ90 the cutoff for trainable soldiers. IQ100 is necessary for introductory calculus but few people with an IQ under 120 actually use calculus as a tool.

And calculus is hardly the ultimate in mathematics. Calc is where arithmetic ends and mathematics BEGINS. Most real mathematics is completely beyond 90% of whites and 99.9% of blacks.

So tell us about your advanced degree in Mathematics, professor.

Calculus? your dumb ass can't even do addition or subtraction.

Aww FFS sake this is still alive? Here's some blunty time. You're all fucking stupid. Yeah you too racist POS asholes. Jesus the SAT is so curved at this point compared to what it used to be. I imagine they'll be coming up with a 3600 scoring system by the next generation.

 

[Unkotare]

Blacks are better in sports (except hockey), and whites are smarter. So what?

Both pointlessly empty claims.

By the next generation it will be of less significance in making admissions decisions unless encryption and randomization programs improve a lot.

while having a good vocabulary is useful, .

Having a strong vocabulary is still crucial.

I am certainly not going to argue against having a good vocabulary. but how do people acquire a good vocabulary? by hearing or reading a word, decyphering its meaning through context, and remembering it. all processes made easier by extra intelligence.

that is also another intelligence threshhold. when, or if, a child moves past learning to read and starts reading to learn. hunting for deeper meaning rather than just recognizing the words. it also explains why 'whole language' works better for smart kids and 'phonics' works better for dull ones.

there are more smart sullen slackers out there than you realize....and more keeners that lack the inate ability to do higher ordered work.

your numbers are unrealistically high. real math needs not only ability but exposure and dedication. smart people can appreciate the beauty though, even if they cannot actually do the work.

SATs are NOT the same thing as IQ tests, folks.

SATs are measuring what you actually know and how fast you can access it.

SATs address the issue of who well educated a person is, not their intelligence potential.

Hey stupid. The SAT is not an achievement test as you seem to think. It tests for skills not knowledge. It tests for the skills needed to do well in college.

You know nothing of the SAT and think it has questions like "Who was president when WW2 ended"? You are an idiot.

The SAT is a test that MEASURES ones KNOWLEDGE of reading, writing and mathematics. Since it is a TIMED test of close to 4 hours, how QUICKLY one can produce accurate answers in each of the sections plays a part in how well they test.

If you ever took the test, you would know these facts, and would not be wasting time making such idiotic statements and asking such stupid questions.

Dunce.

SMGDH.

No it doesn't. You are not comparing like to like, but different stages of development.

No, there aren't.

Both pointlessly empty claims.

In general, blacks have the physical advantage over other groups, that's obvious just by looking at athletes. And not many blacks have split the atom, it's just a fact, no biggie. It could be from evolution or whatever, like surroundings, which made different groups need different skills...

No, you're wrong. Include ALL sports, and not just basketball and football and the numbers are roundly against you. Categorical statements about artificial divisions of people are bound to be empty and pointless. Take people as individuals.

Yup - blacks are mentally inferior and physically superior. The controlled media lets us say the one but not the other.

Hell - very few blacks can even read. They graduate from HS only because of affirmative action grading.

No "individual" black has ever split the atom.

Have YOU?



And do you, in your infinite stupidity, think there are no black nuclear physicists?

You never told us about your advanced degrees, coward. Go ahead.

Go ahead, name all the black nuclear physicists who've actually discovered something important. Hell, name a black in ANY field that's discovered something meaningful. Crack doesn't count.

List after list has been provided to idiots like you many times before. When he pulls out of you, ask shitshispeedos to show them to you.


While he's finishing up in you, tell us about all the great discoveries YOU have made, loser.

You have nothing, thanks for proving my point.

Too bad for you that you are not the first racist idiot to show up here. Turn around and ask Shitshispeedos.
