[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every source I can find says that scores on the new SAT are higher than the old SAT--except OP.  One of the issues/concerns with the new SAT was that resulted in score inflations.  [/quote]

Care to post any of those sources?[/quote] You can do a quick search.  This is what major news outlets (ala Wash Post) were  reporting after the first exam.[/quote]

Until you provide proof, you are wrong.[/quote] Google -- it's your friend. [/quote]

You don't have a source. Naming search engines won't change that.[/quote] oh good grief, do the search or shut up. The poster named a source. You just have to google that source. Lazy ass.[/quote]

The Washington Post was named.  The only relevant Washington Post articles base the idea that New scores are higher than Old ones on the College Board's own concordance tables.

Other than the College Board's own concordance tables - which the OP questions the accuracy of - there is no evidence (that I am aware of) that New SAT scores are inflated.  If someone has another source, please post.[/quote]
