According to 2010 SAT statistical report at http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/2010-total-group-profile-report-cbs.pdf , there were 65,606 males and 38,728 females with math SAT scores >= 700 . That is a large difference, and the male/female ratio is probably larger at higher math SAT thresholds.

For 12-year-olds, a math SAT >= 700 is much more unusual than for students in grades 11-12, and the male/female ratio has been about 4 for the past 20 years http://www.tip.duke.edu/node/945 . So the math difference appears by at least age 12, at least in the right tail.
