[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It used to be that there were athletes, nerds, etc.. now everyone is trying to excel at everything. Everyone is doing sports, APs, Academic enrichment.. 1500+ score is so common now. There is pressure from the environment and expectations that a kid weill excel at multiple things.[/quote] Remember there's other factors, though.. The growth of the 1500 scores has lot to do the SAT becoming significantly easier than it used to be, and in some ways, more trainable. Academic enrichment is partly on the rise because there is less tracking, and less teaching. GPAs are stellar because of grade inflation, etc.[/quote]
