Only 3% of Black students scored a 1200+ on the SAT

[CoryMack]

SAT is more about Test prep than education. Sort of like how a 4.0 gpa student can still fail their MCAT. Doesn't say anything about your education. Just how well you prepared for that particular test.

An realistically it takes money to be prepared properly for those type of exams. You can be the brightest student in your class but if your parents can't afford to enroll you in SAT prep courses online or with a tutor, you will be a disadvantage.

Exactly.

"unsurprisingly parents education levels and median family income are directly correlated with success on the SAT"


b-b-but we don't care about a woman's education/career level as long as she is cooperative

say you don't care about your seed without saying you don't care about your seed brehs. happy mf friday coli

Cooperativeness is important. A kid can't study if his parents are yelling at each other.

I can’t remember my score but I remember my advisor being very impressed and trying to get me into this college in NC.

Most def. A stable home matters. And it helps to tag team the education at home too...mom or dad might be stressed out one day so the other parent has to step up for homework time

So who's failing these black children—especially the boys?

This was asked in another thread and people were hand waving it away like it wasn't a problem. I don't even want to waste time talking about it because I don't things are gonna change anytime soon. You tell people what's going on and they don't give a fukk or hold on to their ignorance, I don't know what to do.

What school did you end up going to?

 

[Reflected]

Yeah leave out
Finances for SAT/ACT prep courses
Both test have been proven to be
I swear you nikkas don’t like black people but be so fukking revolutionary and rah-rah in other threads
It also proves none of you limp wrist fakkits have friends of other races

They aren’t better at education

They just know how to cheat

I could go through every student I came in contact with for test taking, online classes, and essay completion, asian students were the most notable given their ability to pay and obviously their names. I'm sure in most school "help" services, it's white people and asians dominating the charts, with probably asians having more money to spend at the decent schools. When it came to paying for entire classes, that was almost always asian, because they were essentially paying for their class through the school and paying a similar rate for me to complete it, you need to be rich for that, or incredibly goofy with your money.

But yeah, if I had to guess why I didn't encounter as many black students, if any, it was likely because they couldn't afford it. Now I wouldn't attribute asian/white success in school entirely to cheating, but you get an odd peak into who really comes to you for these services.

Unless they broke it down by school district instead the whole state you won't see the real picture

Nearly every black school is in the hood, where students have to walk through metal detectors when they enter, have old ass desk, old ass books, old ass everything

poor nutrition, and dealing with life problems that come with living in poverty, and you expect these students to be able to concentrate in school, especially when they have teachers who don't even want to be there

And knuckleheads always disrupting class with their bs

This is not only a stupid take, it’s not based in any fact. If I didn’t know any better, I would assume you were a white person posing as a black person, or, at best, a c00n. So is everyone who dapped that filth.

SAT scores have little to do with “taking school serious” or even intelligence. It’s about knowing how to take a standardized test. Success on the SAT comes from repetition and classes specifically made for the exam, both of which are very expensive. Asians and white people, especially the highly educated, can afford to put their children in extra courses that cost thousands of dollars. They can also arrange transportation to get them there, etc.

The SAT is also obsolete. You don’t need it to get into college. And this coming from someone who had a 1200+ when the SAT mattered.

This is a typical c00n Bat Signal thread only made to speak down on black people. Notice these threads are inundated with supposedly black people who have no idea how statistics, facts, or education actually work.

The jig is up

And sadly those Black people are the rule and not the exception. Even among parents. They’ll say we “don’t care” about education, but how many of those parents have gotten their child a tutor? Or even taken advantage of the low cost and even free tutoring or SAT prep courses that can be found in many places?

But those same parents can probably tell you what happened on the latest episode of Real Houswives

 

[get these nets]

@OfTheCross be careful. Thread will be bushed and locked.
Years ago, I posted the national report about the scores that broke down race/gender and it was locked on TLR and on HL.

Breh as long as you handle your business you good. Arguing against constant excuses is a lost cause.

A lot of us are alone in this matter and will have to leave a majority of the community behind.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

The more excuses you make, the longer Black Americans stay behind.

How many $3000 SAT courses have you paid for?

Lies and fallacies Black people go to school in Yeezus and Vans You get clowned for not looking fresh.

It isn’t about money. These classes aren’t that expensive. The same for football camps

I did this as well. There needs to be a culture of learning in the household. In this case, access to test prep programs works wonders. I would go further and say that going to a good school is important but that can't apply to everyone.

Agreed. My mom and a few of her siblings were apart of the Metco system here in MA. You take lower income students and bus them to the burbs. It helps but it’s not enough. Like you said it’s not an option for everyone. I volunteer my time 1 night every week tutoring adults for the GED .. the basics of what they don’t know .. it’s sad. Folks didn’t/don’t have parents that care. We can’t keep acting like it’s just the school system failing kids.

What school did you end up going to?

I ended up going to an online college because Covid happened literally right after I graduated and I stuck around because I wanted to help take care of my baby sister while my parents worked. It’s more or less safe to go out now and my sister started school so I’m clear to transfer to college of Charleston next semester, or maybe next year. My advisor and my teachers want me out of online school as soon as possible and my advisor also wants me to consider a second major too.
