It isn’t that hard of a test. It’s pretty basic concepts, and someone with well above average to upper tier intelligence, like kids who go to magnet schools, will be able to excel.


Ignore the down votes; you are correct.

I don't understand why they don't make the test more difficult, it seems like it would be more meaningful for selection purposes if the scores more fit a normal distribution as they did in the 60s. 70s and 80s, instead of everyone and there brother being able to score above the 75th percentile.

That's not how percentiles work.

You are correct, I should have said something like everybody and their brother scoring a 36 making the 75th percentile a 35.

Percentiles from 2011 to 2017

Very minor changes over the past 7 years.

I think there was an adjustment in the mid 90s and it has been really minor since then.

You can miss questions and still get a perfect score.

I don't think you understand how unlikely this is.



My graduating class at Jesuit had 3 students with perfect ACT, SAT, and PSAT. This isn’t really all that unbelievable.
