[quote=Anonymous]I think we're talking past each other when I mentioned measure error. Tests aren't perfect. There are issues of repeatability or reliability in the SAT and the PSAT, as with all standardized tests. All the kids in the top 5% or so are in the pool of the potential admits for all the best schools. I disagree that a freshman (or sophomore) scoring 1400 needs room for improvement. Getting another 100 points will boost his percentile from something like 99.8 to 99.9. She'd be much better positioned for college admissions if she spent the extra effort on something other than test prep, since she's already at the top of the scale. [/quote]
