Alabama's average SAT scores seem to be oddly high, at # 20, considering where they are in all other rankings.
Anybody have a guess why?


I would guess that local colleges use the ACT. So the only people actually taking the SAT are trying to get into more selective out-of-state schools (that tend to prefer SAT). So the SAT scores only include the very best students in Alabama.

That would be true of most Southern states, would it not?
