Evidence from the study suggests that in the first 3 years of college Caucasian students\u00a0scored higher\u00a0than their African American counterparts on seven standardized tests measuring critical thinking skills, knowledge of\u00a0mathematics,\u00a0reading comprehension, science reasoning, and writing skills.
