SAN FRANCISCO - AUGUST 26: SAT preparation books are seen on a shelf at A Clean Well Lighted Place For Books bookstore August 26, 2003 in San Francisco. The College Board today reports significant gains in both SAT math and verbal average scores, with each rising three points from last year marking the highest level for math scores in more than 35 years, while verbal scores matched the level last reached in 1987. At the same time, more students took the SAT than ever before, which indicates a growing need and desire for higher education. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
