If this were true, SAT math scores for girls would be higher than boys. Math is the only portion of the test that can be scored objectively. The reality is, there are systemic biases in every component of education today that favor girls.
In the UK, girls overtook boys in maths results in 2021 (at least, when looking at top grades). This was the first time girls had got more top grades in maths, and just so happened to be a year when exams were cancelled due to COVID and grades were "estimated" by teachers instead. When exams resumed the next year:
> Boys also retook the lead over girls at the top grade for maths in 2022 after girls out-performed boys at the A* grade for the first time in 2021. Last year, 29.1 per cent of girls were awarded A*, compared with 28.5 per cent of boys.
Not surprising at all. What is surprising is that boys are still good at math, despite being beaten down year after year by a girl focused environment.
Are you saying that SAT scores in math are about equal but scores for other sections heavily diverge?
Having never written them I genuinely have no frame of reference but would be interested to find data to back this up since it's quite the lofty assertion.
I would more likely have guessed that aptitude in these areas was not as strong for some other reason.
