[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not humble brag. Sorry it came out that way. Child registered for December and scheduled a tutor to start from later this month. [b]I used to think 1500 is pretty much all you need.[/b] Then looking at stats recently 75% percentile is 1580 for some schools. My question is: Is 1600 pretty much what top schools expect? I understand that students take SAT multiple times and it is just the best score that many of these schools consider, so does it make sense to try to improve on it? [/quote] When we are all growing up, before two rounds of changes to the SAT (ie pre mid 1990's) a score of 1500 or more was truly elite. But like grade inflation and everything else, the SAT score threshold has changed. Scores of 1440 and higher still truly elite, but the number of kids getting scores in the 1520+ range is far greater than it was back then.[/quote]
