Dd got a 1250 last year in 10th. She got a 1380 on the SAT in August.
Somehow she pulled out a 1470 with an index of 223!!! FCPS |

This is a weird result that does not inspire confidence in College Board. |

| Digital test has gotten too easy. The jumps from 10th to 11th for so many are too dramatic. 1510/10th with only a few dozen practice questions on question bank. |

| What does the index signify? |

The index is used to determine if they qualify for national merit. Index is verbal x 2 + math ÷ 10.
Every state has a different cutoff and semifinalists won't be notified until next September |

Why does verbal count twice when colleges are increasingly focusing more on STEM? |

To ensure somewhat equal numbers of boys and girls. |

They use it for National Merit Scholarship cutoff. Varies for each state - top 1% of each state |

| DD probably just missed the cutoff for commended with a 1390 and an index of 207. I am fine with it because she already has a 34 on her ACT (35's in math and reading)...so a very good shot at a 35 superscore at the very least (if not a 35 when she retakes it). She knows that the only test that really matters is the ACT or SAT. |
