<p>I think it would be interesting as well. If 10 people from Indiana start claiming they all got 2400s, we know there is some lying. </p>
<p>what do you think the average/mean will be for each state?</p>
<p>It would be interesting if the states with more 2400's have a higher average/mean. The best guess for why they have more is population and # of people who take the SAT. If more take it, you have a much better chance of a perfect score, but their averages may be lower. Previous SAT averages for California on old SAT:</p>
<p>2000 was 1011
2001 was 989
2002 was 982
2003 was 1017
2004 was 993</p>
<p>These figures are from 12th graders with their graduating yr.</p>
<p>Another thing is that these states tend to have better schools. The best publics in these states are much better than the best publics in other states. Same for privates. So better schools usuallly correlates to higher SAT's. I'd be surprised if Alabama had 24 perfects, but from california it just isn't that astonishing</p>
<p>"40% from three states...according to the New York State papers, two got a perfect 2400 from NYC, but never mentioned Stuy....</p>
<p>Since we don't have information on the other states, all those that got a 2400, can you tell us what state you are from? That would be interesting."</p>
<p>for new york states there MUST have been some mistake because i know 3 people from stuy atleast that got perfect scores and one from bronx so thats already 4.........the newspaper MUSt be wrong on this because i personally know these kids adn their scores</p>
<p>its possible...so if three from Stuy, 2 from the newspapers and another from the bronx, that makes 6 of the 11 from NYC...interesting</p>
<p>2 definite 2400s from my school in Southern California. Might be more, though, since I only know my friend's and my scores.</p>
<p>Weird that some of us still haven't gotten our scores (about 8%) and they have all these statistics. So I guess they DO know our scores then...they just aren't giving them to us. Otherwise they wouldn't know for sure if it was 107 perfects...it could be more.</p>
<p>I told my daughter not to worry, they're probably rechecking her score to be sure she got 2400 ;)</p>
<p>The newspaper might be wrong because it just doesn't make sense that only 2 of the 11 kids from NYS would be from NYC, which has the best schools in the state (Stuy (NOT STY PLEASE, ADD THE U), Bx Science and Hunter as the publics and then all those expensive private schools like Dalton and Horace Mann). Also, I simply find it hard to believe that no one from Stuy got a 2400.</p>
<p>Audiophile, I think someone mentioned this earlier, that if the two scorers for the essay gave your daughter scores over a point seperate, it's being re-read and rechecked, thus causing the delay in score reporting.</p>
<p>ahhh I feel like I'm repeating myself so sorry...but once again it's probably not that because no one at my testing center (and some other people's) has gotten their scores back yet. So that could be ONE of the problems..but it seems there might be others</p>
<p>I guess it is possible that more than half of the kids in the entire state of NY that got over a 2400 are from NYC.</p>

<p>Actually she said everyone who took it at her test site haven't gotten their scores back yet.</p>
<p>AZP do u go to University high?</p>
<p>2400 scores uodate
six in Virginia,
five in Maryland and
three in the District of Columbia</p>
<p>according to Washington Post</p>
<p>No Florida students achieved the top score during the test's first administration.</p>
<p>HAHAHAHAHH florida...makes me embarassed to say I was born there. =)</p>
<p>2 in Pennsylvania</p>
<p>I go to San Marino High.</p>
<p>Whoa, all these 2300s? How esay was this test. You guys are making me wish that I was in the class of 2006.</p>
<p>The March 12th administration was not an easy test. The math curve was absolutely brutal (2 wrong=760!!!), and the grammar section caught people completely by surprise. The Verbal section was definitely (imo) harder than the Jan. 05 administration.</p>
