[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since we're in the the college forum: The SAT math and AP Calculus has a low ceiling in content, depth, and challenge. AMC is like a super-SAT that finds large differences between students scoring 750-800 in SAT math and 5 in AP Calc BC -- there are far too many of these for the seats in the most rigorous mathematical science college programs, and those SAT/AP scores are not sufficiently predictive for meeting the ability expectations of these programs. [/quote] Yet those programs still want to see the SAT scores. Back when CalTech was test blind, people on here said it was because they were using AMC scores instead. But the faculty hated the system and the school went right back to requiring the SAT/ACT. So it seems like the SAT is actually measuring something different, and/or there are a lot of kids who CalTech wants who don’t do AMC math. [/quote]
