[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A better question might be why is the test so easy. Seems to me there ought to be a bigger spread between top scorers and the rest; otherwise starts seeming like luck (rather than pure smarts) is too much of a factor.[/quote] Because the PSAT is geared toward the average student and is poorly suited to distinguish between the 0.2% student (1500) that makes NMSF in DC and the 0.3% student (1490) that does not.[/quote] And also explains why most kids just don't bother, and focus their time and energy on things that will matter on their college application.[/quote]
