<p>@planner03 I don’t remember the place I saw those stats. I got the number about a year ago. College Board has the percentiles, the NMSC may have the numbers somewhere on its website. I checked out the percentiles and the figure is about right when you consider how many students take the test but again, I have seen the stats as a number not a percentile, I just don’t remember where at this time.</p>
<p>A side note, so much of education is focused on improving the low end of test scores which dumbs down the entire education system. I think that the focus should be on increasing the number of students at the upper end of test scores which will elevate the entire educational system. Schools that perform the best are always focused on boosting their top talent in terms of resources and investment. A little trickle down education but it works.</p>
