differences in changes in score across time (see also Bridgeman, Burton, & Cline, 2001). The group differences are reflected by the number of standard deviations (SD) away from the White students' mean each group scored. When all SAT scores were aggregated (i.e., when both SAT-I and SAT-II scores were considered), in comparison with White students on average, African American students scored about one full SD lower, Latino students scored 0.9 SD lower, and
Native Americans scored about half a SD lower. Asian students demonstrated slightly lower scores (by .2 of SD) than did White students for the aggregated score. Inparticular, they scored higher than White students by about .03 (SAT I) to .07 (SAT II) SDs on the math tests, but about a third (SAT I) to half a (SAT II) SD lower on the verbal/writing tests.
