<p>My data sources:</p>

<p>M/V Percentiles: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2003/pdf/table_3a.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2003/pdf/table_3a.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Composite Percentiles: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2003/pdf/table_3b.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/cbsenior/yr2003/pdf/table_3b.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The study showing fatigue did not diminish performance: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/research/pdf/05390RDCBReport0405dc.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeboard.com/research/pdf/05390RDCBReport0405dc.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>1540 M+V is MUCH easier than a 2320 New Composite.</p>

23

<p>Another note of clarification, my estimates are based on the following assumptions:</p>

<p>1). The scores of math has decreased slightly if any.
2). The scores of critical reading/verbal has remained the same.
3). Writing scores will be 10 - 20 points higher in general than the scores of math and critical reading.
4). Fatigue does not affect scores.</p>

<p>hey no bashing my 1540 M+V.</p>

<p>Although I do prove your point (2220 composite). </p>

<p>Funny that you mention it--my January SAT score (only old SAT I took) was 1540, and my May score (only New SAT I've taken) was 2320. My Verbal went down 30 points, but it was offset by an 800 Writing and 800 Math.</p>
