I wouldn’t even know how the hell to find out. I remember some controversy bc we were (among?) the first to write an essay or something? Who knows.

And that is what’s problematic. As an SAT proctor, the test has changed several times the last 25 yrs. Impossible to compare scores from disparate testing designs

I don’t even think that’s the problem. I just think it’s something that doesn’t matter cause I’m 37 years old.

I get that. Point is that it’s difficult to compare test scores when the test changes every few years (you noted the first years of the essay portion being included). I didn’t have that. So is my score fairly compared to yours? No, and I wholly agree with why would anyone give a fuck after age 20?

My understanding is that for the article they looked at the scores that would’ve been average admitted at the time.

I have read the story. The intrinsic point of the story isn’t exclusive to his contemporaries only. It’s meant to drive comparison to anyone who’s taken any form of it. Exhibit a (I’m aware this is satire)
