<p>Hec,
Some of these numbers are odd. For example, in PA 5,000 more juniors took the test this year. In 2003 approx. 2750 scored above 700 in writing. This year approx 4300 scored over 700 in writing. Of the 5,000 new testers, 1550 of them were high writing scorers, more than 30%. I guess since most students who take PSAT are collegebound, it would make sense that they do fairly well, but 30 per cent of new testers being high scorers seems high to me. Any guess of PA Hec?</p>
