For what it's worth, the average TSA score accepted has been around a 70 in the past...
Keep on sharing results so we can get data on this year!

Thanks for doing this! By the way one thing which I think will be very important to find a good average accepted score is to split it up by subject, as I can already see from this data that it varies significantly :smile:
