The Relationship Between The Sat Scores And Family Income Of Candidates Around The World?

The same thing is applicable to the academic field. Children who come from a family with more money tend to be given more opportunities early on such as placement

This is one of reasons why students have low score in SAT. Students are hard to have scholarship with these score; so that they have to pay full tuition while they have a lot of bills to pay. As a consequence, they have to give up their student life or expand their study time in school to work in order to support to their families. This also leads to have a poor ability human resources in society. Moreover, the proportion of teenage birth rate in Texas is very high. Woman from fifteen to nineteen years old have kids; however, they do not have enough age to work with high salary while having to pay a lot statements such as life fee, and fee to take care their children. Because of lacking money, they have to sacrifice the chance to go to school, or do something illegally that leads to insecurity in society. This results are the domino affects that we should worry about. The authorities should make solution to deal with these results, exactly prevent this situation expanding in the future. I come from Vietnam that is a small country in Asia, and has many poor

The socioeconomic status of an individual’s parents has always been one of the clear-cut forecasters of the individual’s academic success and educational accomplishment. The correlation between family socioeconomic uniqueness and student accomplishment is one of the most forceful patterns in educational scholarship; however the reasons and means

In the article Race, Poverty, and SAT Scores: Modeling the Influence of Family Income on Black and White High School Students' SAT Performance, hypothesizes the relationship of race, wealth, and parental education as predictors of achievement for African Americans and Caucasians on SAT's. The study utilizes participants of a 2003 high school junior and senior class members cohort in the United States. The ethnic profile of the member's records respectively recognizes 54% of the group as female and 69% White, with 11% Black. Of this sample 59% of the Black test takers were women, and 54% of the White sample were women ages 15-19 years of age. (p. 9) Researchers, Dixon-Román, Everson, & McArdle, analyze data from the College Board's Student Descriptive Questionnaire as an appraisal

In their article “The Upside of Income Inequality” authors Gary Becker and Kevin M. Murphy argue that the solution to income inequality is to have more and more students attend and graduate from colleges. Becker and Murphy imply that students from “broken households” earn lower grades and test scores, therefore reducing their chances at entering and staying enrolled in colleges due to subpar cognitive skills. Throughout the article, charts are shown to show promising statistics of students of all ethnicities being successful in colleges. However they later state:

In the article “Who Gets to Graduate” by Paul Tough examines a problem about low income students are less likely to graduate from college than students from middle class or wealthier families. In the United States, school systems are not created equally. Middle and upper class students have access to safe and modern schools equipped with everything they possibly need to stay in that high rank because they came from a family who has the money to support their studies. Students from low-income families don’t have a lot of the support, stability, and money from home that higher-income students can take for granted.

In the data collected by College Board that shows the relationship between family income and the average test scores, students from a family which has a income of lower than 20,000 dollars per year would get a score around 1326, and students from a rich family which has a income of more than 200,000 dollars can get a score around 1714. It reflets that fact that

SAT scores are inconsistent since they are directly correlated with average family income. Studies show that the average SAT score for students (out of 2400) in families earning up to $20,000 is 1326, whereas students in families earning over $200,000 receive an average score of 1714. This discrepancy is likely caused by unequal test preparation. Those with an average income of less than $20,000 tend to be families that cannot afford proper coaching, but those earning over $200,000 can afford as much coaching as they want. In other words, wealthier students are able to surpass the poorer students through “gaming the system”—bringing their score up hundreds of points through hundreds of dollars worth of private college counseling as well as through hefty amounts of practice tests. This also means that if

Today in society the determination for a college degree lies beyond education towards future financial security. While college debt seems to be ever increasing, students from low-income families are less likely to attend college due to the financial hardship. The social class that a student’s family falls into shows correlation on whether that student will or not attend college (Peske & Haycock, 2006). However, looking at this issue from my own prospective it seems as though no matter the social class students are attending college. What more so seems to have an affect on outcomes for individuals is how there family’s social economic status effects how well a student performs in college. For a student from a low-income family nothing can seem more daunting than the overwhelming amount of debt we have to pay after college.

DiEugenio(2014) also found that the correlation for the highest points of concentrations of wealth in the United states, In 1929, before the Great Depression, and 2007, before the housing market crash, resulted in devastating effects, the whole system crashing and burning to destroy the economy. Also, being top heavy in an economy, just as America is in now, is unsustainable, and will lead to another collapse in the near future DiEugenio(2014). Another factor of income inequality is where Americans go to college, the more prestigious college or university a person goes, the more likely they will receive a lucrative job DiEugenio(2014). DiEugenio(2014) stated in his article, “The average income of the parents of a Harvard graduate is $450,000 per year, or the top 2 percent of the nation. And that college degree credentials the Harvard graduate as someone who can expect to stay at the top of the income ladder. Much less social value is given to a degree from a state college or a lesser known institution.” Parent’s income has become a very clear predictor of what their children will have access to

Income and socioeconomic status-based differences in test scores occur because of the environment in which students were raised and the ability of their parents, and contribute to racial differences because of the racial income gap. DeNavas-Walt and Proctor (2015), of the Census Bureau, reported that black and Hispanic households had incomes lower than average, while the income of Asian and white, non-Hispanic households was above average. This means that discrimination based on income and socioeconomic status is more likely to affect black and Hispanic students. Guryan, Hurst, and Kearney (2008) found that mothers with at least a college education spent an average of 4.5 hours more caring for children per week than those with a high

The education in the United States today has main focuses, such as educational attainment, which is how far a student can get in school depending on family income and race/ethnicity. Family’s race and income can affect the possibility of someone’s attendance in college. The rate for dropouts in schools is highest for Latinos and Native Americans and lowest for Whites and Asians. As for income, families with high income are more likely to attend college than families with low income. Gender also effects educational attainment. There is a gender difference today that females are more likely than males to graduate high school, and finish college and obtaining a degree. The UnitedStates is considered a credential society, which indicates if a person has the knowledge, degree or skill

Over 71% of Euro-American children performed at a higher grade level compared to African American children; these children who tend to live in lower-income families frequently perform worse than middle-class families. This lack of performance follows an affected child throughout their education and later leads to a deficit in the number of students graduating high school and college (4). Even if a poverty-stricken child graduated, many lead the same lifestyle and remain in the same social-class that their parents lived in. However, whether the parents have limited education or a lack of wealth, they can still provide their children with the

In Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom, a student’s chances of academic success are greatly influenced by factors such as ‘ parental wealth, occupational status, education and aspirations’ (Argy, 2007:para3,
