Are more prestigious schools taking the ACT as well? That would have a tendency to put downward pressure on the SAT since it has been generally expected by the more prestigious schools. For example very few Iowans bother to take the SAT except those who want to go to Harvard etc.
As always with this statistic, unless everyone is taking the test in this country and did so when the baseline was set for comparision, it is likely that more less prepared/less gifted students are taking the test.
