What do you mean by splitting hairs? We were never given percentiles; just the SAS scores, which by themselves, don't mean much to a parent. I haven't known how much faith to put in them anyway since my daughter panicked during the test when she didn't know an answer. (She told me that she took a test where she didn't know any of the answers and that it was her worst day of school EVER!)
