Economist Raj Chetty establishing that SAT tests allow low-income students to access higher education and is predictive of both academic and other success.

I was in a group of women who were convinced that women were smarter because more women went to college and had higher SAT scores. Okay.
This is from 2012 SAT scores. 886k women took the test, 776k men took it. Average score for men, 1,031. Average score for women, 992. More men than women scored 1600s. And 1590s. And 1580s. To save you the suspense, in spite of the fact that more women took the test than men, men scored higher at every decile all the way down to 1130, the 61st percentile:

By 2024, the gap had closed to male test takers at 1029 and women at 1018.
Here’s 2024 data. See page seven. Males outnumber females by about 50% between 1400 and 1600 scores, and by 1% between 1200 and 1390, and again, by 2% in the 600 to 790 range, suggesting a flatter, broader distribution curve.
