Dodge, Susan – Chronicle of Higher Education, 1991

Dodge, Susan – Chronicle of Higher Education, 1990
High-school and college officials blamed the dip in verbal scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test on students' reading too little. The average verbal score dropped from 427 to 424 while the average mathematics score remained at 476. A total of 1,025,523 high-school seniors took the test in 1989-90. (MLW)
