[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Test scores should not be dispositive in the admissions context, but it is undeniably useful to have a single uniform and unbiased metric for all kids in the admissions pool (if only to normalize the wildly different quality and grading standards across high schools).

It's not unbiased!  It's biased in favor of kids from upper SES homes with college educated parents who can pay for prep courses.[/quote]

Yet so many UMC moms in this thread reporting they are happy with their DCs 1200 scores.  It’s the LEAST biased factor.  The test doesn’t care grandpa’s seven figures trust, it also doesn’t care extended time UMC moms bought for their mediocre kids.[/quote]

Most kids are just that: average.

It's ok.[/b]

I wouldn’t say I was happy about the 1200 score. My DC isn’t either. But, it is not life changing.

Me, I thought I was hot $hit with my top SAT score, top 20 college and nmsf. Turns out most people don’t care in the real world, and especially outside of DCUM.

It hasn’t gotten me more happiness, or a better job, or promotions, or more money.

I also refused to pay thousands for tutoring or private school.

There should be a question about how much you paid for tutoring, how many times you took the exam, and how much your school costs on the Common App.

Also maybe it should only be offered 3 times and or all schools should be test required. [/quote]

You must have scored very poorly on the SAT Math section!
Average is 50%. 
A 1050 is an average SAT score.

I don’t understand what you mean. To be clear, My child got a 1200. I got a much higher score and back in the 90s, was NMSF. It hasn’t been as huge as some people, especially on this thread, make it out to be. [/quote]
