[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After today's SAT, you get the familar complaints of how the real SAT was harder than the practice test, this module was s hard, not enough time, etc. I think the realization for many is that getting a 1550 is just hard and they just complain. In California, only about 2000 students get to be NMSF. Now of course this is based on the PSAT and selection index, but as a point of reference a 1550 is harder to get than a selection index score of 224. Berkeley and UCLA enroll almost 13,000 freshman. Safe to say the great majority couldn't score a 1550. Perceptions get skewed because a magnet school that already self selected might have 50% scoring above 1500. Still rare and in actual number, quite few.[/quote] Caltech uses a bracket system, accroding to which 780 in each section is the score for "backet A". Really 1560 is the number, not 1550, for differentiation. [/quote]
