Loop through List

[ichabod801]

Okay, SATList has three sub-items (state, verbal, math) in each item, and you are trying to unpack two. I'm not sure why you are comparing math[2] in the loop. That's the same value (the third math score in the file) for every time through the loop. I think you want:

for row in SATList:
    if row[2] > '500':

Although, I would again note that comparing numbers as strings does not work well. I would convert all of the scores with int() or float() as appropriate.
