[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Numbers don't lie and are a lot more informative than whatever opinions people have on this board:

Any explanation why, when adding the sub scores does not equal the state "T"total score? Check out VT stats for SATs -- none of the Totals equals M+V+W (0).

Interesting.  It does add up for some--VSU, W&M, VCU just at a glance.[/quote]
I[b]s there better source data for Va Tech — to figure out which are the right SAT numbers (my kid is right on the edge, so I’m very curious about these numbers). [/quote][/b]

No.  SCHEV is an amazing resource for VA parents - both public and private.  No other state has anything similar.  Don't listen to the naysayers.[/quote]
This is great data. But, at least for VA Tech, the SAT scores reported do not equal Verbal + Math. Something does not add up. Literally. That’s why the data is suspect. [/quote]

It doesn't add up for UVA either.  [/quote]

They won't necessarily add up.  It is 3 different measurements:  Verbal, math, and overall.   If you take the kids that are above the 50th percentile in math, they won't be the same as those above 50th percentile in verbal.[/quote]
But it seems you’d have to start with the top 50% group of kids — and those kids come with a total SAT score (V + M).  I don’t see how you’d get a different grouping of just top 50% V and just top 50% M scores (that results in a total score different from V +  M). BTW, I’m not arguing, disagreeing or advocating—  but just trying to understand. [/quote]
