[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the college discussions are f--king joke.
every parent is saying there kid is in the top 1% of standardized testers..1500 SAT, 35 ACT..it is not possible for that to be..unless the College Board distribution of test scores is fraudulently inaccurate.[/quote]

Have you considered that this discussion board is not a random sample?[/quote]

+1 Also, the OP doesn’t seem to understand what the College board is reporting. The reported score distributions are for a specific cohort from one sitting during a specific testing period. Posts on this board include superscores of 1500+ or 35+. Yes, this board is self selected  and represents a high achieving demographic area so a higher concentration of top 1% is likely just like other highly educated metro areas. However, the College Board/ACT are not reporting superscores which significantly increases the number of kids that apply to colleges with top 1% scores from multiple sittings. [/quote]
