“The scores can and must change.”
Sounds like a plan is in the works to try to get some easier questions on the test so the scores improve.
“College Board considers a score of 1550 to be the “College and Career Readiness Benchmark”
Had ~1450 back when, Merit Scholar, Salutatorian, a semester of AP credit. Have to read deeper to see they’ve added 800 points to the test to make sense of it.
Still, 1550 would be like 1030 back when, which was a respectable score for a college ready student - they must have dumbed the test down as well as adding a section.
