Can we have Margins of Error reported as well? And what about the fact that the College Board advices AGAINST this very type of reporting, against using scores to compare schools?!

The worst is claiming someone got a "Perfect" score, when you don't need to GET every question correct to get an 800 on at least the Verbal section (i e someone with an 800 score could have gotten some questions Wrong, and still recieve the "perfect" 800!).
Granted, many DO answer every question correctly, esp on the Math, but one needs to request your answer report to find out!

I agree, Manfield. Using SAT score to compare schools is more or less meaningless. Some of the top-scoring schools try to keep average or lower kids from taking the SAT and thus lowering those schools' "stellar" scores. Other schools encourage every kid who even thinks he might want some kind of post-high education at some point to try the SAT--of course those schools' average scores will be lower.

Mansfield, I thought it was supposed to be harder to get an 800 on the reading part than on the math part, since the "right" answers in the reading questions are sometimes open to debate. Math is less subjective.

It IS more difficult to get an 800 on the Verbal/reading section, which is also why one doesn't need to get every question correct to get the 800.

I am glad more colleges are recognizing the ACT tests. They are more user friendly for the students and are split between math, reading and science. A much better glance of a student's intelligence. There is a comparison chart from ACT to its SAT equivalant score. My daughter scored 100 pts. higher on the ACT compared to the SAT.
