<p>@madaboutx,I think your numbers are too generous. Here are some links for ACT for class of 2012 and 2013
2013, go to page 14 <a href=“http://www.act.org/newsroom/data/2013/pdf/profile/AfricanAmerican.pdf”>http://www.act.org/newsroom/data/2013/pdf/profile/AfricanAmerican.pdf</a>
2012, go to page 14 <a href=“http://www.act.org/newsroom/data/2012/pdf/profile/AfricanAmerican.pdf”>http://www.act.org/newsroom/data/2012/pdf/profile/AfricanAmerican.pdf</a></p>
<p>If you consider a 2250 about a 34 ACT, then in 2013 there were 99 at 34 and above and in 2012 68. Add in the 33’s and that’s an additional 111 for class of 2012 and 160 for class of 2013, so 259 scored 33 and above for class of 2013 and 179 for class of 2012.</p>
<p>I can’t immediately find similar numbers for SAT, but here’s some older data. <a href=“A Large Black-White Scoring Gap Persists on the SAT”>http://www.jbhe.com/features/53_SAT.html</a> In 2006 976 scored above 700 on SAT math and 1117 scored above 700 on verbal. Can’t tell from this how many scored above 700 on both, but 1500-2000 scoring 2250 plus seems unlikely.</p>
