[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, OP is correct. The way schools use test optional now, [b]there is no difference between a 1200 and a 1500 (both are advised to apply test optional[/b]), but all the difference in the world between a 1500 and a 1520. Which puts kids scoring at the upper end of the test optional range under enormous pressure to get their objectively very good scores up to the reportable level. [/quote] I'm not sure if these types of comments are from parents who really think that they can discourage kids with higher scores to go test optional or if this is just someone trying to be funny. I'd go by the 25th percentile at each school, if you are at or above that mark you submit or risk the school assuming the score was much lower. (If you are below the 25th mark you are probably reaching anyway.)[/quote]
