Students of foreign languages score statistically higher on standardized tests conducted in English.  In its 1992 report, College Bound Seniors:  The 1991 Profile of SAT and Achievement Test Takers, the College Entrance Examination Board reported that students who averaged four or more years of foreign language study scored higher on the verbal section of the SAT than those who had studied four or more years in any other subject area.  Also, the average math score for individuals who had taken four or more years of foreign language study was identical to the score of those who had studied the same number of years of math.  These findings are consistent with College Board profiles for previous years.  Students of foreign languages have access to a great number of career possibilities and develop a deeper understanding of their own and other cultures.
