Data Story about SAT
Here is my overview text: When searches regarding the SAT rise, so do searches for anxiety, stress, and depression. The SAT is a standardized test. It is recquired that students going to most colleges take either the SAT or ACT. According to the data on google trends, their seems to be a direct correlation to negative emotions such as anxiety when SAT searches rise. At first, I focus on the general America then I narrow my focus onto regions and which regions. In all states, the SAT was generally the most searched followed by depression. Therefore, most states represent the overall data of America. This supports the idea that people taking the SAT are possibly searching terms like anxiety more often.

The Miramonte Mirador wrote about how the SAT is making teens sad and angry. It claims that students with high enough GPA's are being devastated because their SAT scores are too low to admit them into their dream college. Also, it mentions how the SAT can be considered a wealth test because certain families pay for multiple tutors, making their kids have an unfair advantage.
