[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county altered the testing methodology to be:

1) more inclusive i.e. tests way more applicants now
2) new criteria reduces the advantage of kids who prep[/quote]

It stands to reason with the larget sample that median scores are now much higher too.[/quote]

Median score is very unlikely to go up when you test more people. It is certainly not going to go up now when you deny entry of all those 99% kids from the W schools. [/quote]

Who keeps incorrectly saying that a larger sample size results in higher anything?  This has never happened in any test or performance set.
