Note that in addition to being US-centric, the SAT scoring system has recently changed. When I took the SAT’s, the maximum score was 1600, as it had two sections. Now it has 3 sections, with a maximum score of 2400. So my SAT score is going to look substantially worse compared to people who took it since 2005… and let’s not even get into the various “recentering” changes in the 80′s and 90′s.
