>>Meanwhile, their average SAT score fell from 1,026 to 1,002 on a 1,600 point scale.
And this is with the “adjusted” SAT scores from 1996 to hide the failures of public schools.. A score of 1002 today is only equivalent to 890 on the original scale.
Do you have a good, quotable source for SAT normalization across the years?
Good point.
The SATs were inflated in the 90s. Test was made easier. So these are lower scores using the easier system.
Look up some tests from high school in the 1950s. The American government tests would likely be failed by 90% of Ivy League college graduates.
Yep. My 1994 score was enough for me to be a national merit scholar. Adjusted for today... well I would score higher than ever.
Lot’s of pressure to graduate everyone.
