Optimizing test taking took some years, maybe?

Sure, that's possible, and may suggest the current test is better, not flawed.
The numbers are half a percentage-point different from 2016 — down in English and up in math.
Scores didn't really do down, they stayed the same. Why would one expect them to go up? Kids didn't get magically smarter, schools didn't change. It's more suspicious that the schools got better every year under the previous test.
