[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAT was different in the 80s. Harder. You rarely heard people hitting 1400+ SAT. I remember 1200-1300 was a solid SAT score in the 80s (put you in play anywhere). So the score report doesn't mean much...BUT--yes it is much more selective everywhere due to common app, number of applicants (not as many people went onto 4-year colleges), holistic approach and test optional.[/quote] I don’t think it was necessarily harder but the verbal section was more difficult to prep for if you didn’t have the vocabulary. It’s almost as if the college board intentionally created something that would align with test prep and test cram type services. [/quote] The SAT is equally as challenging as the past, and the test is normed. The English section is easier because English skills have declined nationally, but the math section is harder as math skills have increased. [/quote]
