[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My UMC kid said this means she needs to get her 1530 up to 1550.  I don't think so .. do you? [/quote]

No.

It means her 1530 has returned to having value like it did pre-test optional.[/quote]

Also means that the score will be evaluated in context. The "value" will be based on zip code and HS resources.

A low income kid with a 1400 has just a good a chance at Dartmouth as a UMC kid with a 1530.

Are you OK with that?

Our magnate schools provide SAT prep to all students on free lunch level family income but not to muddle class families. Many middle class students can't afford private prep centers, they are at a disadvantage.[/quote]

So recognize the privilege of not being middle class and how much easier it is to achieve a better score.  [/quote]
One on one tutoring is efficient. However, most students can't tutor their way to a 1550, no. If it were that straightforward, all rich kids would have such a score. They don't.[/quote]

Almost all of the kids in my circle attend prep centers, their SAT and PSAT scores are all over the board, only few go national merit or above 1550.[/quote]
