You can look at the SAT scores at lots of schools and see that the new SAT skews higher.  Here's one example: http://admissions.psu.edu/apply/statistics/[/quote]
No, again, that Penn State link sets forth numbers (for students who started attending last summer/fall!) that [u]come directly from the College Board's concordance tables[/u].  The website even states: "**The new SAT scores shown here represent conversions of the prior test’s scores to fit the new test’s structure and 1600-point scale."

Only a few schools have reported actual admissions data from the early admissions season for Class of 2021.[/quote]
PP here.  You are correct; my apologies.[/quote]
Thank you.  Perhaps your linked website raises an important point, whether state schools are using the concordance tables (many seem to have planned ahead to use the concordance tables, at least) and what effect that will have, particularly for automatic merit award cutoffs at some schools.[/quote]
