Do they do the BS thing where they don't require people to submit SAT scores, so you effectively remove the bottom third of the distribution of their students?

no they just made the curve much easier a while back. these days the 99th percentile isnt until 1530, when i took it it was something like 1460 (and in the 90s closer to 1400).

go look at a modern SAT. the questions are 50% easier. e.g. an old SAT math question considered hard may have 3 or 4 logical steps. a "hard" question now has 2.

Yes, it's optional so only whites and Asians are taking it (and some of the whites are not even taking it if they have a good enough "hook"). Also as people have mentioned there have been multiple rescalings as well as dumbing down the actual material itself (no more analogies, etc) to make it more of a grinder test and less of an intelligence test.

This is why we need more bug people chinks and turds in our country. The "SAT median scores" need to be higher. Then we can Win against The Chinese Enemy.

IDK. They see a lot more of the world through the internet and social media, and have access to drill down easily on shit they aren't getting. This is actually what you would expect if you believe the internet is a disruptive knowledge/learning force. Though there's also DEI bullshit thrown in masking it too.

I think its a combination of

(i) the test is dumbed down due to DEI. they took out analogies and keep making it easier

(ii) 20 years ago only the truly elite schools prepped kids for the SATS (and then these NE private schools acted like their kids were geniuses). Now even middle class kids in Alabama have parents who are paying for college counselors.

SAT Percentile Rankings for a 1350 Score:

Early 2000s (pre-2005 SAT format) Scale: 1600 (Verbal + Math)

A score of 1350 would typically fall around the 93rd to 95th percentile. This indicates a very strong performance relative to test-takers of that era.

Recent SAT (2016-present)

Scale: Revised 1600 scale (Evidence-Based Reading & Writing + Math) A 1350 now corresponds roughly to around the 90th to 92nd percentile.
