[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAT was different in the 80s. Harder. You rarely heard people hitting 1400+ SAT. I remember 1200-1300 was a solid SAT score in the 80s (put you in play anywhere). So the score report doesn't mean much...BUT--yes it is much more selective everywhere due to common app, number of applicants (not as many people went onto 4-year colleges), holistic approach and test optional.[/quote] The Verbal section had some particularly difficult parts back then. I remember the antonyms section, where the tougher questions at the end entailed a word you had never seen before, and then 4 answer choices which were all words you had never seen before. Guess which answer choice is the antonym. If you somehow get it right, congrats, but if you guess and get it wrong, we are deducting points from your test score.[/quote]
