Michigan students are not only scoring higher than average nationally on SATs scores, but they’ve raised their in-state scores over last year as well.
According to excerpts from the article:
Relatively few Michigan students, 7,178, took the SAT college entrance exam this year. That was down from 9,684 in 2007 and far fewer than the at least 112,000 who took the ACT as part of the Michigan Merit Exam.
But those students also scored relatively well, with average scores of 598 on mathematics, 581 on reading and 572 on writing. Nationally, the averages were 515 for math, 502 for reading and 494 for writing.
The 2008 Michigan students also scored better than their counterparts in 2007, when average scores were 579 for math, 568 for reading and 553 for writing. The national scores were unchanged from 2007 to 2008.
