[quote=Anonymous]95% certainly seems impressive until you realize that the percentile is of all those taking the test, including some who will never attend college and some middle school students who qualify to take the exam for CTY and other programs. 1900 on the SAT is probably not good enough for any selective school, yet a score of 1900 puts you right at (or near) the 90th% most years. A seemingly small difference can be significant. I remember being at a conference when some blowhard was going on about the supposed “98% similarity of DNA between chimp and humans” only to be deflated when another panelist quipped “I, for one, pride myself on the 2% difference.” [/quote]
