...tournament opened with a dominating win over Connecticut College as the Crimson was able to outperform the Camels in a 17-2 decision. Harvard grabbed the early lead and never looked back. Nine different scorers contributed to the victory for Harvard...

SEED seniors have an average SAT score of 834, not much higher than the 800 average throughout the Washington system. The school has tried to improve its performance by strengthening its curriculum. But as a result, 21 of the 63 eighth-graders were unable to move on to ninth grade last year. Six of those youngsters chose to drop out rather than repeat the grade. Retention was a problem even before the tougher standards went into effect...

Girls tend to outperform boys on writing exams, so their overall scores could benefit from the addition of the new writing section. Boys usually score higher on the math section, but the new exam will contain fewer of the abstract-reasoning items at which they often excel.

So you still need to evaluate a fund by risk-adjusted return, expense ratio and manager experience...
