Equivalent distributions for CLAS and SAT tests are for math tests based on 35% and 93% pass rates for whites, compared to equivalent percentage of minorities who achieved the same score. Pass / Fail ratio index shows that regardless of whether a test passes 35 percent or 93 percent of whites, the pass / fail ratio remains between 4 and 6 times better for whites than blacks. The only other known standardized test where Asians score as poorly as African Americans is the National Literacy test, which is very culture dependent.
