Such investigations would result in what, finding the regions that have the nation’s smartest students? The SAT doesn’t certainly test intelligence nor one’s academic performance in college. Achieving a perfect score comes largely through practice rather than academic knowledge…so I’m not really sure why finding data behind the identities of perfect scorers would be so interesting.</p>
<p>I maybe throwing arbitrary number out there, but here are what I would predict via some knowledge that has been passed about the SAT concerning other scores in general.</p>
<p>Male: 55%
Female: 45%</p>
<p>-Males generally do better on the SAT’s than females, its about even for the ACT’s from what I have heard thrown around. The exact gender breakdown is probably publsihed by collegeboard themselves somewhere.</p>
<p>White: 45%
Asian: 50%
Other: 5%</p>
<p>Not offending anyone, but just throwing out facts, if I were to wager money, it would be the the ethnicity stats I put here.</p>
<p>50% Northeast
20%California
30% Rest of Nation
-These numbers seem very plausible to me. 2400’s suggest intelligence outside of the classroom, so even though NE schools are rated best, geniuses must be dispersed fairly evenly. But remember, the ones in the midwest and deep south take the ACT.</p>
<p>I agree on the geographics of the distribution of 2400’s. However, I would hazard to guess that the gender and racial inequalities that the SAT usually presents would be grossly exaggerated when one looks solely at 2400’s. In other words, I feel that more than 60% would be Asian, and that males would outnumber females considerably (perhaps even 2-1).</p>
<p>Of course, this is just speculation. I really don’t know for sure.</p>
<p>I haven’t seen geographical or other breakdowns but of the 382 who achieved 2400 in 2010 (among seniors heading to college), 206 were male and 176 female.</p>
