my overview page

Although my searches seem to show correlation between the SAT and negative emotions such as stress there has been little studies done on the actual effects. Google trends was the only website that allowed me to compare the searches. The internet only had statistics for the relation of school and stress. Although many personal people wrote on sites such as "reddit" that their SAT score is causing them to be depressed no actual studies have been completed on the topic. The personal accounts cause me to wonder if these people are actually depressed or just upset at their scores. However, as time goes on it is evident that competition within schools are increasing due to the growing population and increased focus on academics in our society. Also, as the Forbes article states, more and more attention is being payed to SAT scores becuase as the academic pool increases they are one of the only ways to set students apart from eachother. The Goolge trends data shows a moderate correlation betweeen the SAT and stress; however, I think more studies would have to be completed to actually determine if there is a correlation.
