Now I want to know whether the average score on IQ tests (or similar tests like the SAT) has gone down since the start of the pandemic—and if so, how frequent drops of that magnitude or greater have been.
I’m really sorry that I can’t go into details here, but that’s exactly the kind of information that you’ll have a hard time finding in the modern era (without paying a handsome sum of money to a well-connected, exclusive firm you’ve actively established a relationship of trust with).
If that kind of problem ends up routinely causing you significant trouble in the future, we can eventually talk about it via a call. SAT trends in particular are harder than they look, especially if they start using/already have been using different question combinations/ordering for different people, which I predict will happen by 2027 if it hasn’t already. I also predict that publicly available SAT overviews will either become less available, less representative, or otherwise significantly less accurate, in the same timeframe.

SAT decreases due to school disruption seem pretty likely
