[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of our frustration as parents comes from our own outdated understanding of the landscape, which is radically different today. Most of the misunderstanding probably surrounds the idea of "high stats kids" because we are using the metrics and SAT scales from the 90s. It is pretty sobering to realize that an estimated 20,000 students will score at ~1530 or above every year in one sitting (top 1%). With superscoring, that number of students will be even higher. This varies by school type, but I have also seen estimates that nearly 50% of US students will graduate high school with overall averages in the A range. [/quote]

+1 I remember the mid-90s when a SAT score of 1600 was so rare (this was in the 90s before the recentering that happened in the late 90s) that it got you in the newspaper of our large city (not some small town paper) which had a circulation of millions. A SAT score above 1550 was rare enough that the kid usually ended up either at Stanford, Ivy, or at Berkeley with a Regent's Scholarship (this was CA),[/quote]
