<p>By middling I mean 50th percentile, which could be a 650 on some SAT 2 tests. Remember that the score distributions on the SAT 2’s don’t follow a bell curve where 50th percentile is around a 500. Kids tend to test in their strongest subjects, so the distributions are higher overall than SAT1. </p>
<p>Re my bias, okay, what I should have said is that my kid is better at telling and writing explanations than at analyzing (false) statements. The kid is not a natural skeptic/analytical thinker, but more of a creative, divergent thinker, which works against the SAT testing, but less so the AP testing.</p>
