[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have high level math skills..of course I understand who is on this site..and very aware that "super scoring" is the most absurd part of this..almost no other "test" let's an applicant do such a thing..in addition, if a kid wants to take this test multiple times, every test should have to be sent in..and then force the college to only report the AVERAGE of all tests..the world is mostly pass/fail..not a world where you get unlimited number of chances. I did read the reactions to my original post..however even if every one of these kids are the creme de la creme in yours/others eyes..[b]math would tell you that there is still something wrong when ALL OF YOUR KIDS ARE IN THE TOP 1% [/b](plus I failed to mention the grade inflation where I would guess ten percent in my kids high school got 4.0s...that should be investigated..or possibly the 1%, i.e. Ivy kids have only spent their days in the room studying rather than having normal childhoods..

BTW..my kid did get 1480 and 1500 on two sittings..and a 3.8 UW 4.7 W..which could not possibly get one into one of the few schools worth attending..fortunately my kid could care less..and the research shows it don't matter anyhow!!!!

If you understand the math and what is going on then what is your point? What do you see as the problem? Your original post implied people are lying or the College Board is manipulating the data. [/quote]
