SAT scores show 12 year decline among seniors
Nearly 1 million college bound high school seniors took the SATs and posted the steepest drop in 12 years with averages of 434 verbal and 472 math. The College Board notes a real decline in verbal and reasoning ability and cites theories from curriculum shifts to television influence, while fewer students scored above 600 and more scored below 400.
