Very interesting analysis. So the odds are that the percentage of 5s and 4s will remain the same. So what prompted the CB to make this change? So far the only theory has been that this is a marketing strategy designed to compete with the ACT. But wait. The ACT does not offer AP tests. Maybe this is a preliminary move to eliminating the “guessing penalty” on the SAT. What do you guys think?

It was mentioned either in this thread or the other thread that one reason for the change may be because of the increasing rate of lower scores (1s and 2s).</p>
