If students haven’t already taken the SAT, many are preparing for it—especially since  post-COVID. A major part of this assessment is the math score, which is becoming increasingly important with the emergence of more and more careers in the STEM fields.

Tutoring company Learner looked at data surrounding SAT math scores in every state. Their analysts found out which states have the highest (and lowest) math scores and compiled their findings in a report.

A few findings from the report:

• The difference between the highest score (Minnesota) and the lowest score (Florida) is 156 points

• Although Minnesota has the highest average score overall, North Dakota has a higher percentage of students meeting the math benchmark for the SAT

• Florida has the lowest math score in the U.S. at 50 points below the benchmark, with an average score of 480
