<p>The College Board has posted the count of how many class of 2006 seniors got each score on the "new" SAT I test with three sections and a highest possible score of 2400. </p>

<p>Even though more girls took the test than boys overall (740,103 girls compared to 636,642 boys), of the 238 students who aced the test, scoring a perfect 2400, only 107 were girls while 131 were boys. Some parents speculated that adding writing to the SAT I test sections would mean that more girls than boys would ace the test, but so far that hasn't happened. </p>

<p>What do you think of the figures found in the College Board link? </p>

<p>ha males rock!</p>

<p>jking.</p>

<p>interesting. a low # imo...</p>

3

<p>Yeah, the total national number of students who aced the standard score on all three sections of the test is not high, that's for sure.</p>

4

<p>If I had one wish in the world, I wish I were among the 238 students who aced the frickin' SAT!</p>

5

<p>On the other hand...</p>

<p>Out of 124 students who scored a total of 600, 77 were guys vs. 47 girls. :-)</p>

<p>edit: btw, I'm not a girl.</p>

<p>It happens to be a well known phenomenon of ability testing that boys are more extreme in their distribution than girls. More boys score really, really high, and more boys score really, really low. The new SAT I proves to be no exception to that general rule.</p>

7

<p>I would be happy with a 2100-2200. :)</p>

8

<p>Wow.. 1970 or something is the 90th percentile.</p>

<p>Because of cc and all the brainwashing ("raise your 2100! or you wont get in!"), I thought the 90th percentile would be 2250!</p>

9

<p>Same here LOL</p>

10

<p>cc is retarted when it comes to sat scores.</p>

<p>I got an 1860, and im like crap, yet I look on this **** and it's like 86th percentile. </p>

<p>And my ACT score of 28, which is below most CCers, is 91st percentile.</p>

<p>Yet, "TOO LOW!!!!!!"</p>

11

<p>This just proves that girls are inferior.</p>

12

<p>I think the "raise your 2100" stuff comes from people trying to maximize chances of getting into Harvard.</p>

13

<p>Are these stats from one single sitting? Or multiple SATs combined?</p>

<p>I'd presume single sitting...</p>

14

<p>Yes, I'm sure those are single-sitting scores.</p>

15

<p>Maybe it's time to bump this thread now that a new round of score reports has come to class of '07 students.</p>
