    This graph makes the SAT drop look worse than it is

    Yes, an example of why dual y-axis plots are problematic (when the variables are not direct mathematical transformations of each other).

    And notably, many changes have been introduced to the SAT and SAT scoring over that time. It’s unclear to me from the information here how those have been accounted for in the data.
