I have heard about this book, and have not read it, which does not mean I am unqualified to answer the question. There ARE Black students (including me) who score extremely well on tests they take. At my particular high school, and several others in the area, there are students (who happened to be Black) who scored a perfect 1600 on their SATs, achieved the highest scores possible on their Advanced Placement exams, the National Latin Exam, and sundry others. There are Black students around the country who may not have private school educations, but take tests well enough to be recognized by the Ivy League schools. A lot of people do not realize this, because of books such as the Bell Curve which cloud people’s views of black students.
