These scores are from back in the 60s when the SAT was not "reformed". Back in the day you could score in odd numbers. I believe they got rid of the odd number scoring system starting in 1970. In fact I'm sure of it.
Okay. I still doubt these scores. Bill Clinton went to college on scholarships. A 1032 SAT score probably isn't going to net much in terms of scholarships, and Georgetown wasn't an inexpensive college.

There's nothing to doubt about these scores they have all been sourced. In the 60s students were not expressly focusing on the SAT like they do today. No studying to the test like today. You can also add 40 points to these old tests since the "new" SAT has been reformulated; or in real terms: made easier.

Then what's the source for Bill Clinton's score? The College Board?
And even a 1072 is a less than stellar score.
How did Clinton get SCHOLARSHIPS to pay for Georgetown? His family couldn't afford an elite school. They probably couldn't even afford the University of Arkansas.

You're losing me here....this was 50 years ago. It was a different environment. Most American did not take SATs, let alone even go to college. These were solid scores a half century ago. Scholarships are awarded for many reasons, not just SAT scores, or grades.....you understand that, right ? These men I mention, Kerry, Gore, Bush & Clinton were above average students at that time, not the cream of the crop, but not dumb. There's nothing unusual here.
The SAT craze started in the 80s & 90s when students really started to study for taking the SAT test like it was life or death....different world from the 60s & the college experience at that time.

And still, Clinton was a National Merit Semi-Finalist. With a score of 1032 out of 1600????

That doesn't make sense.
Bill Bradly, former U.S. Senator & Princeton grad scored a 485 on his verbal part of the SAT. The SAT was not a major focus of educational achievement in the 60s like it is today.

And National Merit Scholars as well as Semi-finalists have HIGH scores. Not mediocre scores.
It's very, very doubtful that these scores are accurate.

You're delusional & unable to grasp historical trends. Bill Bradley got into Princeton because he was one of the best basketball players in the nation. They overlooked his 485 verbal SAT score. I've told you over & over again why SAT scores were treated differently in admissions in the 1960s, but you refuse to deal with it. All these SAT scores have been known for many years. Lol, what do you think....Gore, Bush & Clinton were brilliant students. They were slightly above average students for the time....a half century ago....
