No, no. Same test. Simply put, when the Northeastern state students take the test, these students are students who are planning on going to college. When the Southern states have their students take the test, they are ALL students...even those NOT going to college, which bring average scores down. (Plus there is a test practice center on every corner [exagerration, but a lot] in the NOrtheast....not so in the South....

And the South tends to have the poorest inhabitants, therefore, it is also known that children whose parents have higher incomes tend to be able to travel and give them opportunities that less income parents have, and test scores and grades reflect this.

Therefore, if the Northeast and other states as well tested every one of their students, you might see the gap close. I don't know all the states who do this like Georgia, but there are many in the South. I don't know all the states in the Northeast or West who don't, but there are several. That's why you can't compare these scores.

Why Georgia does this, I don't know. I do know not to pay much attention to it because of who the test takers are. AND I know you know many from the South who have gone on and have gotten great academic scholarships at pretigious institutions as Sanford, Notre DAme, MIT, Ivy League schools, etc. from Southern public schools.

The University of California (probably Berkely), doesn't use the SAT any more for admission, I believe. The President of USC certainly doesn't believe in it.

If you knew all this, I apologize for rambling.
