National 2008 SAT scores remain unchanged from 2007 scores

The collegeboard has released its annual statistics for 2008 SAT scores. The number of SAT test takers increased by about 8% to 1.5 million (1,518,859). This year, more minorities took the test than in the previous year, however SAT scores remained changed. Perhaps this is good, since in the past 10 years SAT scores have been on the decline. Also the number of first generation students increased by 1%. Interestingly, females constituted the largest portion of test takers among all ethnicities.
