Right, but what about who is taking the test?
If the distribution of test takers is skewed, that could influence numbers like average result…
Not many, and mostly those who view the test highly and prepare for it, as it costs a lot of money. There were more students that took it in 2022 as opposed to 2021 (36% vs 35%), but this is down nearly 12% from 2012 when 48% of students took it.
This is not an issue of applicant pool dilution.
