<p>Are you sure about that? From the link to CB,
<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.co…sqt-scores.pdf%5B/url%5D”>http://professionals.collegeboard.co…sqt-scores.pdf</a>
“More than 3.5 million students take the test each year.
Approximately 1.5 million of those students are high school
juniors (11th graders), and the remainder are students in the
tenth grade (sophomores) or younger.”
The 3.5 million number seems high. That means for every 3 Juniors taking the test, there are 4 Sophomores or younger taking it… That seems high as I always thought it was a test taken primarily by Juniors ( for NMSF) and maybe half that number or less of younger students. Yuor numbers sound more accurate than CB’s from the link.
Edit- Another possibility is that there is a huge increase in the number of foreign students taking it as 10th graders to see where they stand for testing later…</p>
