[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Excuse my ignorance but has the SATs gotten significantly easier since the late 90s, early 2000? I looked at average scores at various colleges today and they all seem so high! No way back when I took it could that many people get scores in mid-high 1400s. Are we talking about the same test? My kids are nowhere near college age so I haven't paid attention to how the test has changed.[/quote] Yes, actual scores up about 100 points and then superscoring allows kids to use best scores on each section. Makes a tremendous difference.[/quote] +1, with super scoring the inflation is well more than 100 points. Add test optional on top of that and this just omits a lot of the scores that would bring down the average range. The ranges you see now are not at all comparable to SAT scores back in our day, so it can be intimidating to see these ranges, but you have to keep in mind that the norms are different. [/quote]
