The CollegeBoard provides valuable leading indicators for future trends of student enrollment around the world. With permission from CollegeBoard, we are able to share a few highlights of those future trends based on SAT takers from China and global traffic to the CollegeBoard website. China is a particularly interesting example to examine because of the volume of Chinese students seeking higher education outside the country and because Chinese students must travel outside of China just to take the exam. Unlike international students from other countries who have easier access to the SAT, Chinese students taking the exam are extremely likely to follow through and enroll. They are highly motivated.
