[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just know she seriously threw my DD's friend for a loop when she sat down in front of her to take the SAT.[/quote]

I imagine that she got a near perfect score.  Her parents are highly intelligent.[/quote]

I'd be shocked if she got super high scores.  Obama never released his scores and Michele has stated before that she didn't score that highly.  I'm sure she did well but I'd be surprised if she scored in the top 5%.[/quote]

To follow up, from statistics in 2005.

"If we raise the top-scoring threshold to students scoring 750 or above on both the math and verbal SAT — a level equal to the mean score of students entering the nation's most selective colleges such as Harvard, Princeton, and CalTech — we find that in the entire country 244 blacks scored 750 or above on the math SAT and 363 black students scored 750 or above on the verbal portion of the test. Nationwide, 33,841 students scored at least 750 on the math test and 30,479 scored at least 750 on the verbal SAT. Therefore, black students made up 0.7 percent of the test takers who scored 750 or above on the math test and 1.2 percent of all test takers who scored 750 or above on the verbal section."

I'd imagine the number of AA students scoring above 750 on both is considerably smaller. I suppose it's possible that she's one of the 100 or so AA students that scored above a 1500.
