[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good point on the ACT. I had not realized it is so prevalent now. Here is ACT data for CA. http://www.act.org/newsroom/data/2014/pdf/profile/California.pdf If I'm reading it right, 196 students scored a 36. If that's right, then that is roughly half of the 452, and the math would work to be roughly consistent with CA's population %. Interestingly, for DC, the SAT still is much more popular. 4,832 students took the SAT, versus only 1,492 took the ACT. And of that 1,492, only 2 people scored a 36. [/quote] PP here. That much student preference for the SAT really surprises me. The local Ivy-fixation might have something to do with it, although today pretty much all of the Ivy schools consider the tests equally. Historically, there were regional biases in terms of colleges' preferences (ACTs at southern schools). But, I thought that had all but gone away.[/quote]
