And that’s a huge difference. I’m talking, say, 720 in CR, 700 in W, but a 600 in M (I know many with such scores, in fact).



And that’s precisely what I’m talking about. Somebody who earns an above-average CR score is probably going to earn above-average scores in the other sections (and vice versa). And that’s precisely what happened in the numbers you presented: all of those scores are above average (relative to the national average).

In other words, if you tell me somebody’s CR score, that tells me useful information about what that same person’s scores in the other sections probably are. If he scores above-average in one section, he will probably score above-average in another.
