<p>Ok, so a couple of times on these forums I've seen people write that there isn't any real difference between a 2200 and a 2400 on the SAT. Is this true? I guess my question has two components to it. </p>
<p>Do the really selective colleges such as the Ivies and their competitors really see any real difference between a 2200 and a 2400? </p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Are 2400ers "smarter" than 2200ers? I don't mean actually smarter (as that would be silly) but in the sense of the SAT, if you understand what I'm trying to get at. I guess this question also sort of ties in to the previous one. </p>
<p>So any thoughts? </p>
<p>Are people with a 2200 at a great disadvantage in the college admissions process compared to people with 2400s?</p>
<p>There is a difference between a 2200 and a 2400. Granted, it's not huge, but there's is definitely a difference. Once you get to 2300+, then there really isn't much.</p>
<p>A 2200 wouldn't put you at a great disadvantage, unless the school was extremely numbers-based.</p>
<p>as far as schools will consider it, a 2200 is probably different from a 2400.
however, i think that anyone who is capable of a 2200 is capable of getting a 2400 in the right circumstances (like myself on practice tests: i got a 2400 on one of the blue book tests but on another i got a 2260 and a 2240 and then i've gotten two in the 2300s)</p>
<p>i think anything in the 2300s is the same (liek a couple stupid mistakes)]
2200 is debatable
but in terms of measuring intelligence they are similar b.c one can increase that score to 2400 by prepping</p>
<p>2200 is no where near a 2400. I myself am at a 2230 and I know for a fact that there is no way I can get a 2400. On a good day, I can maybe get a 2330 or so, but 2400 is a lot harder. Plus or minus 50 points or so could be equal, but a 2200 is so far from a 2400 I dont know how people can possibly say that. They just want to make their paltry scores seem better than it really is.</p>
<p>For a 2400, you can miss like 3-5 questions or so, but for a 2200 you are allowed to miss a lot more. Something like 10-15 questions and you can still get a 2200.</p>
