[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow in my day (I'm old!) that would would be going T20![/quote] Totally agree. Is it that the scoring is somehow different, so more kids obtain a 1300/1400+ score, or is it that kids have had increasingly better test preparation? Probably a combination of both. [/quote] Tests are way frigg'n easier today than 20-30 years ago. For one, they removed the gat dang analogies and all highly arcane vocabulary from what used to be called the SAT-Verbal when it was actually hard.[/quote] :roll: Removing arcane words and deciding to focus on more meaningful standards doesn't make it easier.[/quote] Removing the arcane words dramatically increases the test’s bias in favor of wealthy kids. The old tests were much fairer. Studies have shown that re-scoring SATs to eliminate easy questions reduces the racial and income gaps in outcomes. New tests are worse in every way. [/quote]
