Oh, got it.

Arkansas scores were up, according to a recent report here.

Apparently there is more to this story.

Didn't they already dumb it down at least once?

No, what I wanted to talk about was the scores of some famous people. For instance, Jennifer Lopez supposedly replied "Nail Polish" when asked what she got on her SAT. John Kerry and Oprah Winfrey refuse to reveal their scores.

Anyhow, the top score was 1600 when these folks took it.


And last year's average score was 1026 by way of comparison.

George W. Bush: 1206
Al Gore: 1335
Stephen King: 1300's
Amy Tan: 1100's
Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy: 1420
Bill Gates: 1590
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen: 1600

My son took the ACT test in the spring of his sophomore year. He got a 30.

The SAT's are not important in this part of the country for some reason. It seems to be a "coastal" college test. So, he'll be skipping that since he's going to go to Missouri State. Since he got a 30 then he already has a guaranteed $8000 scholarship.

For starters, probably more students who cannot claim English as their first language are taking the test.
