Newspapers are starting to say that the graduating class of 2007 scored lower than their class of '06 coutnerparts. The proof? The College Board released data that said that in the State of Maryland, for example, there was nearly a 20-point drop from last year. Nationwide, scores dropped an average of between 2-5 points.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a likelihood that if you take the test more than once, your score will rise or fall up to about 50 points? In other words, if you take the test on your perfectly average day, on your best day, and on your worst day, your best and worst scores will only be about 100 points apart. Therefore, any rise or drop of SAT scores of less than 50 points is irrelevant and statistically insignificant.
Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.
