SAT scores drop
Categories: Classes
The new version of the SAT apparently means lower scores: SAT Scores Drop.
Fewer people are taking it. Fewer people are taking it multiple times. The format has changed so test prep and word of mouth has yet to catch up with the new test. The test itself is longer. All of these things probably combine to explain the score drop.
More people take the ACT and the average score increases.
Perhaps this will open up the conversation about the function of the SAT/ACT. Do they really do what they claim to do? Are they necessary?
