"How to predict a students' SAT score: Look at the parents' tax return"
"This weekend, triggered by a few readers who disagreed with my assertion that socioeconomic status is a huge driver of educational attainment and performance, I decided to respond the way any nerd would in my situation: I made a chart.
In a moment of Excel fervor, I took data from the College Board’s 2011 Total Group Profile Report of college-bound high school seniors and plotted the mean combined (Reading, Math, and Writing) SAT scores for various income cohorts. "

I wonder if this applies to students in the middle east. I have 2 friends who are from families that can barely make ends meet and both of them scored high in tawjeehi. I think students that go to public schools in jordan score higher in tawjeehi than private schools that the rich go to. But i don't know, maybe SAT test is a different test than tawjeehi as far as what is being tested.
