Don’t mind me, just my practice post.

Students from higher-income families are ABLE to spend money on test preparation.

Also, there is a theory called stereotype threat which derives from research conducted in the Stanford University psychology department. See [http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/99aug/9908stereotype.htm](http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/99aug/9908stereotype.htm)  
for more info. But basically, they found that when black students thought that black students did worse on a test, they did worse on the test.

And if you look at **The Bell Curve** , you must check out **Inequality by Design: Cracking the Bell Curve Myth** by Fischer et al. It breaks down the methods and data analysis of The Bell Curve authors.
