The 1% has always had a different track to get their children into the best schools and careers. College admissions are tougher now because there are more people going to college but there aren't any new top universities.
In 80s, a perfect score on ACT resulted in full scholarships plus living stipend most anywhere you’d be interested in, offering a straightforward step up from rural America to the 1% track.
That said, I don’t recall teaching to the test or test prep being a big thing then. Maybe what’s changing is the 1% working out how to keep that track in the family?
