[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]SAT becoming significantly easier than it used to be[/b], 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] is it? Why did they make it easier?[/quote] It's not. PP is making excuses. There was a recentering 30 year ago that inflated scores a bit near the median. [/quote]
