[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are a lot of parents of high scoring kids on here who cannot comprehend that the score is not the be all end all.  I get it.  You feel threatened.  My own kid had a difference between score and grade point (score much higher than grade point).  I would feel threatened, too, but I do think there truly are kids who are bright and would do well in college, despite not having a 1500+.  The evidence is there.  Schools have been doing test optional for many years.  I get it that it would be great to deny and pretend that the test score is supreme.  It just isn’t with all of the prepping that goes on.  If you want an example, look at FCPS AAP, which has become completely watered down because people Prep their kids and go to “certain” psychologists for IQ tests.  (Yes, my kid was in AAP without prep and an IQ test.)[/quote]

Totally agree.  There simply is no way of knowing who has prepped and who has not - which renders scores pretty much meaningless.[/quote]

I disagree, preparing for an exam is expected, there are a ton of free ways to do it, and over doing the prep doesn't move the needle as much as you seem to think. The huge scam and advantage is in getting extra time when you don't actually need it, which also does a disservice to those who do need it.

In any case, the test score is one part of the full picture that puts the rest into perspective. ADs are not dumb, they know how to view the scores.[/quote]
