A score on what? All the tests out there now can be gamed. Those scores are not as useful as we would like them to be.

They need to change the sat into something more “g-loaded” like NSA and cia Analyst tests.

The problem with the sat is that it is too coachable.[/quote]

Are you the same poster who keeps talking about her kid’s SAT scores from 7th grade? Tons of above-average kids from my DC’s class took it at the same age and aced it, particularly if the parents pushed algebra on them early. No coaching needed.

If your kid is something special,  he will stand out on other measures that matter to top colleges. No need to worry about “g-loading.”[/quote]

Well then maybe apply to ASU.  They don't require you to be "special" and it's just as good an education, right?[/quote]
