SAT Scores and Family Income

There has been quite a commotion going on over the blogosphere about the correlation between incoma and SAT scores. Much research has been done and opponents of the correlation have always found some snag in the research but to me, it does seem that such a correlation exists. Although, it might have some pretty serious repercussions and also mean some problems for the College Board, it seems logical that a correlation exists because a higher income means better SAT prep test and an affordability of reappearing in the test. I found these graphs in the New York Times blog which I would like to share which show a breakdown of SAT component scores and their realtion with income.http://http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/27/sat-scores-and-family-income/
