[quote=Anonymous][quote]Colleges do not care about perfect SAT scores.  (1)   Anything over 2200 is in essentially the same category and for many schools anything over 2100. They want to see a high GPA in the most rigorous course load available at the student's high school.

Students in FCPS take the PSAT once or twice, maybe even three times before they need to take the SAT. [b]Ninth graders with high PSAT scores without prepping are very likely to get equally high or higher scores on the SAT. [/quote][/b] (2)

(1)  No one said this.  But if a student can get an A even if a B is all that is required the student usually goes for the A. It's not natural to hold back.

(2)  High performing 9th graders with high PSAT scores are generally studious and hard working.  These students don't usually change course or their behavior because they got a high PSAT.  They continue with their preparation and good work habits and in general will continue to perform well. Many of these same students have been taking standardized tests yearly since elementary school for the State, school, and AAP.[/quote]
