  • Is it me, or are the posters self-selecting? Almost all the OLSAT scores posted are in the high 90s (not even mid-90s). Very ERB/SB-like patterns.

      • There were some "low-ish" scores posted (mid to low 90s) but the majority were sky high.

        • it could also be that, like with ERB's, people only post high scores. so everyone who ub's thinks that there are tons of 99's out there

    • ITA with you. No one posts on UB about an ERB or SB score of 75

      • There are posts about ERB scores in the 70s and 80s, but they are not as common as posts about higher scores.

    • it is self-selecting. but it's also reflective of ub's usage. olsat is nationally normalized. ub and people who can afford to live in nyc tend to be more educated as a group so would not expect a random sampling.

      • FWIW - I wasn't even interested in ub until dc got a 99 - that made me want to know more because I realized dc had a real shot -
