<p>question above ^</p>
<p>MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Yale are doing it</p>
<p>Getting a good score by taking it ONCE is way more impressive than by taking it multiple times.</p>
<p>Also, the tests themselves have changed, i.e. no analogies, harder math, etc. They really aren't comparable.</p>
<p>yea, but collegeboard says they are
and i am only advocating that they do this for '06 ('10), since we were the transition year...</p>
<p>Yeah - I'm really glad I missed the switch. REALLY glad.</p>
<p>I have no idea why the official policy is the way it is, but my guess would be that it does have to do with the different subject matter.</p>
<p>Yeah, it sucks being in the class of '06. On the same note, how will Princeton consider the new SAT writing? MIT and Caltech are basically not considering it. Stanford isn't putting much weight on it. Does anyone know how much value would be placed on the new SAT writing?</p>
<p>Isn't the new SAT writing basically the subject test with less questions?</p>
<p>collegeboard says no--so no</p>
<p>Absolutely it is--the questions are basically identical and the essay is graded on the same scale. How is it not the same?</p>
<p>The curve of the MC questions is wayyy harder. EX: 2 wrong = 75.</p>
<p>when collegeboard says comparable, they mean that it is as hard to get a (blank) on this test as it is on this test
collegeboard claims that old M and CR are comparable to NEW M and CR because they show the same level of ACHIEVEMENT
However, collegeboard says writing is not comparable because NEw writing is actually higher by abt 30-50 pts (my guess) than old writing...therefore, they are NOT comparable</p>
