The SAT has been dumbed down and the schools now teach the SAT as a course, yet, the average SAT score is now below 1000. An SAT score of 1000 used to mean “join the Army, dummy, college ain’t for you.”

Whereas when I was taking the SAT only 10% of all HS students went to college, that figure went past 50% a long time ago.

That probably accounts for a little of the difference . . .

In 1900, only 2% of the population had college degrees. Today, 45% do.
