MizzB #20: That’s what my D said. She took Algebra I as a 7th grader, Geometry in 8th etc. She took AP Calc B/C as a junior. By the time she took the SAT/ACT those subjects were ancient history to her. She retook the test once but ended up sick the day of the tests and decided she didn’t want to restudy material she had taken 2-4 years prior and sit through another 3 hour test as she was busy enough with her senior course load.

Bovertine #19: Yeah, I had looked up the figures after she got the results. I was just surprised that the top math scores equated to slightly higher scores and the mid to bottom equated to lower scores. In the verbal/reading all the scores equated to lower scores before the recentering.
