I apologize if my questions are silly. This is my first born, which means I haven't seen an SAT test in 30 years!
Your questions are far from silly! My SAT scores from 30 years ago wouldn't get me into a matchbook trade school today but got me into a pretty good college yesteryear. Go figure.
Slightly off topic, but for parents who think their SAT scores from way back aren't so great compared to what colleges want today, you should know that the SAT scoring was "recentered" a number of years ago. There's a chart on line where you can compare your old score and see what it would be under today's scoring guidelines. Most people are pleasantly surprised!
