The role of socioeconomic status is very important in the performance of the standard tests. Such students who belong to the prosperous and wealthy families have access to the good educational resources we can say that they prepare ny test preparation courses, private tutoring system. These systems can enhance the understanding of the materials of the tests and improve their skills.

The role of educational environment is also important to influence the chances of success for the students. In the good educational systems of the schools with good curriculum, extra curricular activities. But at the other hand the students with poor educational systems may face difficulties and less attention and lesser opportunities for the enrichment.
