The test is not curved and your son’s score won’t be affected by a large number of high scores. That’s not the way the scoring works.
The curve is established based on the test well before the administration of the test and the scores coming out of 8/25 will not effect the curve.

@Center - SAT only administers the SAT in expat schools in China. They stopped the other administrations due to the rampant cheating. So they had to find new ways to cheat. Turns my stomach.
The SAT uses equating, not a curve.
It’s still not a straight raw score conversion, so to-may-to, to-mah-to 
No, it isn’t a straight raw score, but they try to equate each test so a 720 on one administration is the same as a 720 on another, even if one test’s questions are deemed “easier” or “harder”. Its not related to how the other test takers perform on a given day. Regardless, its not relevant to the issue of the rampant cheating that goes on with recycled SAT tests.
The leaked Aug SAT test was also available for the users in US if they had paid the fee online. Can CB really recognize who were cheating in all the Aug SAT takers?
What do you mean paid a fee online? Yo whom?
My friend’s kid told me she saw this leaked SAT test posted on the test prep company website before the real test. It’s downloadable with a paid fee.
With all this hoopla, I sense a promising business opportunity for some enterprising Chinese prep companies to extend their marketing to the United States 
@Center - I have no idea how a confessed cheater would still be allowed in a college.
I already questioned giving 10-12% of the slots at our elite schools to foreign students, knock that down to 5% and suddenly many more of our equally qualified American kids get a spot in the Top 20 schools.
Many of the 10-12% pay sticker price and many of the T20 don’t have (or choose not to have) the ability to fully fund its FA. So file that one under “things that aren’t gonna happen in our lifetime.”
@skieurope - you’re correct, doesn’t mean it’s right. These elite colleges don’t have to pay taxes and get other great benefits. When we visited JHU they were bragging about their $250,000 new 3D printer or telescope (can’t remember which). I do know that it was funded by a government grant, better known as the American Taxpayer. So it doesn’t sit too well with me when these same colleges reject so many qualified American kids to bring in full-paying foreign students.
There are plenty of domestic candidates whose family will willingly pay full sticker price to attend the elites.
“There are plenty of domestic candidates whose family will willingly pay full sticker price to attend the elites.”
No doubt that’s true. However, most elite schools are need-blind when it comes to domestic candidates. I think this stems from the sense that a kid with wealthy parents should not have an advantage over a kid of more modest means. Interesting though, for a lot of these elite schools, these sentiments don’t extend beyond US borders. Finally, according to Wikipedia, Amherst, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Yale are need blind for everyone, including international applicants, so they are at least consistent in their policies.
The problem is that many of the potentially full pay kids in the United States are not that bright. Think about it. There really aren’t many domestic families (as a percentage of all domestic families) who can afford to pay $75K+ per year per child. Not enough smart kids to go around in absolute terms, and hence that’s why domestic colleges need to seek out smart international students.
@jym626 - you’re right.
Why do the elites choose a full pay kid from China over a fully pay kid from Wisconsin?
Not surprisingly, they are also amongst the colleges with the highest endowment per student, which might beg the question as to why some colleges in that group choose not to join them in being universally need-blind.
I’ll assume you meant to include “qualified” in there as an adjective. Anyway, none of us will impact any college’s admissions policy, and we’re straying away from topic.
“Why do the elites choose a full pay kid from China over a fully pay kid from Wisconsin?”
If a school sets aside a certain number of slots for international students, the kid from Wisconsin isn’t really competing against the kid from China, he/she is competing against other US kids. With respect to US kids, elite schools don’t think family wealth should be a factor in whether you get in. That said, many of these same schools have no problem taking the rich kid from South Korea over the poor kid from Vietnam.
