s.a.t. whatever it takes. there are different criteria of different high schools around the country. one of the best high schools across the river in jersey city. is it fair those kids may get lower transcript scores to a kid who may be going to a public school in the city and be graded at the same level? >> if i thought standardized tests actually were reflective of what people were doing, but people opposed to those things had a group kids take them back to back and the range was 150 points. >> you're talking about something different. you're making a very good point that within the a.c.t. or s.a.t., you may want to dig in and find out and make sure the questions are fair to the widest group of kids. rather than telling the colleges what they should or shouldn't be looking at. >> plus, it's a fairly low bar, what we're asking american students to pass. if they're going to be competitive with students from all around the world, passing the s.a.t. and a.c.t. is probably not that much to ask. >> i got the lowes

. >> my s.a.t. scores were around the 1400s. >> but her small high school in the bronx had limited resources. >> we only had one school to come and visit, which was mercy college. so, everybody in my class applied and almost everybody got accepted. so, we're just like, all right, well, we have never heard of this school, but i mean, if they're all accepting us, i mean, why not? >> according to a new study from the brookings institution, only 34% of top low-income students apply to the country's most selective colleges. that's compared with 78% of top high-income students. the college she went to wasn't the right fit. after her second semester, she dropped out. >> i wanted to go in just a few months after i had left mercy, but everything happens and i was working full time and i got pregnant. >> low-income, high-achieving students thrive at very selective colleges and universities once they get there, whereas if they attend one of the nonselective post secondary institutions that they tend to apply t

and it's important to have that strong vocabulary when you go into the s.a.t. when you are studying for this test make sure you have a great list of words. if you're working with our company, our tutors give the students the most frequently used vocabulary words on that s.a.t. learn those words before you go in. great word, stimulus. >> beautiful lady from los angeles. >> there are ten rooms in a school, okay? each room contains at least 15 desks but not more than 20 desks. which of the following could be the number of desks in the school? 100, 140, 180 or 210? >> 140. >> she's going to going to get a lovely cd by kathie lee, that great singer. >> i've heard of her. the correct answer, 180. >> a minimum of 150 desks in this case and a maximum of 200 desks. you're looking for that number that's in between those two. there's only one number here, which was 180. but again in the math section, it is in order of difficulty. first third of the math test are easy questions, second-third, medium, last third, hard questions. think about where you are in the test and how

the problem that somebody asked me about, is there a place i can go to find all the s.a.t. classes in my area, and you figured out there was, what did you do about it? >> well, we immediately spoke to schools to understand if they were having trouble filling seats and they were. and then we spoke to consumers and we found out that they were searching like yourself, for achordian classes and not being able to find them. and we launch add site that catalogs all the local information, and now you can search by neighborhoods, schedule, price, whatever your purchase eye tier yeah is. >> rah you still at the business school, or are you just involved with this. >> i'm sorry, can you repeat that. >> are you still at nyu's business school? >> we're still getting an echo. >> my goodness, i think they may be able to hear themselves. >> there we go. >> you have me back. so -- you were at the business school, and you -- i don't know if you still are, you can tell me, you entered a business competition, one of these things where you go in with your idea, and you won. were you already in

more and more time and they get more and more fixated on the tests they will take which is like the s.a.t. but affect them for the rest of their lives in some ways. it is a dysfunctional system that no one in korea particularly seemed to like but it was very hard to disrupt the demand as it is in many countries around the world. the united states is thankfully below average for the percentage of kids who are seeking afterschool tutoring but it was growing and it is something that tends to exacerbate income inequality. in korea 70% of teenagers get a second school system after dark. the kids really in surveys prefer their hawk one's teachers. they're ingesting things i i a thing to learn from that second system which is very different from the other system. >> to the original question, there was a study not that long ago that mckinsey did that found that one of the biggest differentiators of the school systems that are getting the best results is the fact that they actually do select their teachers based on a very rigorous standards before they invest in their training and support. we have

i don't think we'll be able to say 2350 on the s.a.t. 174 on the l s.a.t. i think we will see this embryo has a 60% chance of being in the top half. whether it's for test scores, musical ability, or sports ability, or personality traits all things we know are complicated. but that we know from various studies have genetic correlations. and the fifth category the easiest boy or girl. so the couple will get 100 readout on 100 and be asked, which one do you want to try to make your baby? one side effect will be divorces, i think. when the guy says i want number 12. that's andrew luck. he's going to be a great quarterback. and the woman says no, i want 33. that's hillary clinton or don't -- condolezza rice. andrew luck is an easy one. i'm not sure the equivalent on the other side of the spectrum. but they'll have those choices. they won't be able to pick the designer baby. they'll only be able to give on a path on what they have to give. two blue-eyed parents will not be to be produce a brown-eyed child this way. and further more with a number of different trai
