[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But. It’s. Already. Happening.

It’s called data mining. Admissions offices have done it for at least a decade. You just didn’t know about it. And now they are outsourcing that work to the College Board. [/quote]

And the CB is really slipshod. For example, they screwed up the International test whose scores were just released, and the curve was -30 for 1 missed math, -40 for one missed Language. Happy 1530 with 2 missed.  Last June’s US SAT also had a bad curve. Tested get leaked all the time. They screw up administrations all the time.  I don’t trust the college board to do this well. I trust them to do it cheap and quick.  There are a lot of ways to massage the system, starting with “accidentally misbubbling” parents marital status and education and ESL status.

It’s different when different colleges look for different things, and at different data.  Here, the score follows my kid to every single college. And I don’t get to know what it is or correct it if it is wrong.

Pass. [/quote]
