<p>Umm… what would you say of rich families who spend money to have their children do SAT prep-courses? Also, a lot of private schools offer SAT preps. In contrast, students at public schools where their peers are going to state or junior colleges may not even realize it is a good idea to study for the SAT. Certainly, students at private schools on average receive better hs educations -you can see the difference in students’ initial performances in college. I think it’s remarkable how the best colleges accept 1/2 of their students from private colleges -obviously this shows that lower-income students have some sort of a disadvantage in life before they even get to college. I think there is definitely an advantage in having money when it comes to standardized testing. If you don’t have money and weren’t highly prepped for college, you are just that more brilliant for being able to do well on SATs.</p>
