<p>I don't know if this had been mentioned before but...</p>
<p>On Stanford's website they say:
"The New SAT"</p>
<p>For students applying for fall 2006, we will accept a student's highest individual verbal/critical reading score and math score from either the former SAT I, the new SAT Reasoning Test, or a combination of the two exams."</p>
<p>Does this mean that they are disregarding the new writing section?</p>
<p>no I think that means if you had a higher verbal or math score on teh old one, they will take the old scores when calculating composite.</p>
<p>Stanford website says that it will take writing section as a supplement material for the verbal or CR section.</p>
<p>So... it's kinda counted as a SAT II.</p>
<p>I don't know what's happening with it next year.. any idea??</p>
<p>Old SAT maths had a lenient curve... Wont they take into account the new curve? How can both be put on the same scale?
Its tougher to score 800 in Maths now</p>
<p>well I don't know... I know someone who applied to Stanford, and he took the new one and the old SAT, and for his composite, he used his old SAT math</p>
<p>I'm not sure about the policy...all the people I know who were accepted got around the same Writing scores as they did on Math and on Critical Reading.</p>
<p>The old SAT didn't have a lenient math curve. On most tests you needed to get all of them for an 800 though occasionally you could miss 1 and stilll get it.</p>
<p>r u sure?? I think u r saying the opposite :confused:</p>
<p>the old sat wasnt easy in its scoring curve...</p>
<p>actually the fact remains that the old sat ocurse material was a lot simpler and with the introduction of higher level maths stuff, the scores may have been expectedd to go a bit down..</p>
