* MCPS scores for 1973 to 1991 are estimates from the College Board based on converting the original means to the recentered scale. These estimates should be within 2 points of the actual, which cannot be computed. The 1992 to 2000 means are direct computations. National scores came from the College Board. Recentered scores are explained in the Appendix.
