Old SAT scores compared to redesigned SAT scores.

@keiekei I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, sorry. After I took the SAT in seventh grade, I did end up going to Duke TIP and I met some smart kids, but it wasn’t as rigorous as I would have liked (and in general I’ve struggled with finding really challenging summer programs).

I didn’t find the SAT too difficult and I think my score reflects that – in my opinion, four wrong out of however many is well within the range of human error. That’s what I was trying to argue in my post: in eleventh and seventh grade, I made about the same number of mistakes, but according to CB my eleventh-grade score concords to a much lower number. I’m not sure if this reflects a problem with the concordance table overall or if the table just doesn’t work as well at the upper end of the score range, where the number of errors is less a function of ability and more a function of meticulosity.
