Then, if a strong correlation was shown between high levels of test anxiety amongst African-American students and a lower-than-expected performance on the SAT when compared with their white counterparts, more qualitative work could be done to do a deeper examination of why this might be the case.
Final note: while certain other racial and ethnic groups have also shown less of a correlation between college performance and SAT I scores, only African-Americans and Caucasians would be compared in this study, as certain other factors (such as first-generation Latinos and Asian immigrants) might come into play other than stress, such as language acquisition, regarding test results (SAT I: A faulty instrument for predicting college success., 2007, Fair Test).
