About 5 years ago, they changed the way they score the SAT, so the same performance would go up by about 100 points. So no, things aren't really better.

You are aware that they now spot you 200 points just for filling in your name? They didn't do that in 1967.

All things considered, I think it is fair to say this is the best SAT result ever!!

You sure you're considering all things?

Congratulates students.

How'd y'all and them do in verbal?

I am absolutely stunned at the venality of this lie. For the SAT board to proudly announce this comparison, without mentioning the extra points they've added, proves to me they confidently live in a world of NewSpeak and CorrectThink - where facts and truth no longer matter.

SAT Scores at an all time high!

What a joke.

SAT scores are now watered down like most things concerning education.

Congratulates students.

Congratulations, students. Both SAT and ACT have changed. It's easier to get higher scores. If you took the tests before the change, you're given a formula to recalculate your score and add points to it to account for the inflation.

The current high school kids impress me. They are smart and socially aware. No doubt about it. Normalized SAT scores are looking good for what they're worth. Bashing kids for Googling at the speed of light instead of pushing a slide rule like their grandpa did is simply a sign of youthful resourcefulness. To the old farts on this thread wearing lime green golf pants up to their armpits, I say, eat a prune, America is doing just fine.

I hate you.
