SAT Scores of Celebrities: Our Kids Can't Compare

Do you remember the day the College Board released SAT scores, and your high school erupted in a contest of who did better? Even if you tried to remain tight-lipped about your score, it didn't matter. It got out, and you were either slapped on the back or picked on. And if you did extremely well, people were nice to your face and then talked about you behind your back.

And that was all before the Internet! Today's kids have not just their peers to compare themselves to, but an entire world's worth of celebrities whose SAT scores can be brought up with a few keystrokes on Google. Bill Gates got a 1590 (on the old "1600" system)! Ben Stein got a 1573! And so today, as the College Board once again releases the big numbers, parents need to keep their kids off the 'net. It's no good for their psyches. ( Read SAT Scores more... )

The decision to go all-out on SAT prep was not easy — on average, our 11th-graders read two to three years below grade level, and I considered whether their time (and our program’s money) would be better spent focusing on remedial skills than learning test-taking strategies and far-flung vocabulary words.
