<p>Actually, the scores that the kids are compared to are for juniors, not sophomores. The only time the test counts is when they take it as juniors. I would expect the scores to rise from freshman to junior year. I don't know if there is usually a huge leap for many kids from sophomore to junior years. Two of my 3 sons improved from around 200 sophmore year to the mid 220s junior year. The third kid when from a 200 to a 201. None of them did any kind of prep.</p>
