This score is based on com parison Avith other students taking the test. That means that the fresh- men on the Avhole are as good as, or' better than 95 per cent of the other, students taking the quizzes. Only 5 jier cent are better. Placing second at Saint Mary’s were the sophomores Avith 87 per cent. Seniors ranked third with 83 per cent and juniors last with 72 per cent. ' St’ORKS GOOD ON THE WHOLE On the whole the scores were ex tremely good, except in social studies background, quantitive thinking, and natural science background. Iligh ])oints on the score AA'ere in correct ness in Avriting, general vocabulary, and use of sources of information. The seniors ranked very poOrly On social studies background Avhich shoAvs tliey must not be taking the interest in social problems and con cepts that they_ should. This testl Avas designed “on the basis of a dir rect consideration of the question: AVhat does the generally educated person need to know and to undery stand about social institutions and practices in order to do any compe tent thinking about contemporary social jiroblems?” Whatever it is, the seniors don’t have it, knoAving only as much as 21 per cent of the students tested. 79 per cent know more than they do. '■ . The norms in the profiles are those for the beginning of the first semes ter in grade 13. That gives, there fore, the seniors a slight advantage and ])uts the underclassmen at a dis advantage.
