@JBStillFlying @Kayak24 Chiming in to say that according to a college counselor here in our (admittedly) affluent area, the new SAT scores are being pulled down by the math section based on what she’s seen and her national network for fellow counselors. She predicts the SAT is going to have to “fix” this at some point b/c they’re losing market share to ACT because students are doing better. Crazy game and world, eh? Anyway, this is all anecdotal, obviously, but just to say that I agree that it’s unlikely the SI cutoff will go up 5 points in one years given how SAT scores reportedly are playing out. When my D re-tested b/c of her 209 I told her I thought it was good chance she’d make it to Finalist with that SI, but this was insurance/piece of mind. Downplaying to reduce anxiety – and she did great!
