As someone else pointed out earlier, College Literate, and Illiterate are not the same thing. They are factoring in Math scores as well.

I'm a bunch of years removed from High School/College. I probably would tank on an SAT math section now as I have never needed to use any of those equations for any job I've ever held. And I think that's a problem with public education. They need to be teaching these kids more life skills than ramming quadratic equations down their throat.

If you read the article they speak of ACT scores in reading. The score to be considered "College Literate" is a 16 in reading. College textbooks are written on a 9th grade level. If you are in a university and can't read at the 9th grade level, I feel sorry for ya.
