Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Studies show that less than 25 percent of high-school graduates from the lowest two socioeconomic quartiles (the lowest 50 percent of students measured in terms of family income) actually attempt college. Over 80 percent of students from the highest socioeconomic group attend college.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: A number of research studies have attributed IQ gains to environmental changes that led to improvement in the kinds of skills assessed in IQ tests. These findings have been replicated in numerous international studies. Differences among groups in IQ scores may be attributable to social class and racial discrimination.
