I would agree in my community, usually if parents are "richer" then the student is more exposed to opportunities of SAT achievement eg:)SAT academy, review classes, SAT supplies
my friends want to go to SAT prep classes and or want to take the SAT, but simply say that it costs to much, also it maybe that, if the parents do not raise as much money as they would like, the students enviorment at home may not be geared towards focusing on tests, but rather on ways of making their children work already. |
