Abstract | While the results demonstrate that SAT scores still correlated more strongly, on average, with socioeconomic status (SES) than high school grade point average (GPA) and rank, this does not indicate that this is a problem with the test; more likely it is a societal reflection of disparate resources. That is, higher-SES families have more resources to provide their children with additional or richer educational opportunities, along with various other factors that could translate into higher academic performance.
