<p>And one of a probable few corrections that I need to make:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“Throwing out,” isn’t in reference eliding lower scores to raise the median, but in reference to the calculation of % of students who have material differences in their SAT’s and ACT’s, the end effect being that the higher the % of students who have these differences points to a higher 25th% primarily, and will push upward the 50th, but will have less, little or no impact on the 75th.</p>
<p>And we would still have to throw out one of the scores if both were super high or super low, though if a student’s baseline score were super high, I would seriously doubt if he/she would switch tests and retake, except for a possible challenge.</p>
