[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the SATs the same as they were in the 90s? I can’t believe I got into an Ivy League school with less than a 1400 back in the day… (forgive the dumb question, my kids aren’t yet seniors so I haven’t gone through the insanity yet.)[/quote] They are not the same...today's scores are higher for two reasons. First, the test was "recentered" in the mid 90s...depending on what you got, you might add 60-80 points to get the equivalent in today's scores. Second, there was no "super scoring" in the 90s and kids did not take the test 3-4 times.[/quote] I took the test 3-4 times in the 80s and I'm sure they were still doing that in the 90s. There was "superscoring" but you had to send all your results so the school could see how you arrived at the score with how many tests.[/quote]
