Study finds high SAT and ACT Scores Might Not Spell Success at College

[Brown_Pride]

for some reason i jacked my sat's and I took those b*stards like 4 different times got something like 1400 or but was able to pull a 34 on my acts, either way those tests are BS, dated and geared towards people with money.

Damn lol. Did you get into the school you wanted to go to?

I do remember the two or three times I took the SAT/ACT. One, I was anxious to leave and go to my church league basketball game. The other one, I remember it was top D-1 caliber nikkas from schools around the county and dudes was in there farting

No wonder they didn't do shyt in college lmaoooo



Not just high school either. Elementary and middle school too. My mom is a elementary school special ed teacher, she deals with kids with behavior disorders and whatnot. They have young kids who aren't even reading grade level taking these tests. They're judging teachers, schools, and systems based on this when it's not an accurate barometer of aptitude and what's being taught in the classes. You can't just give a teacher a bible (curriculum) to teach from and expect it to be taught from when all students learn differently.



It's comparable to the software HR uses to hire job applicant

I took it before they changed it, in 2002, and I got a 1500. But that was a bad score for the school I went to, my GPA saved me. I got into a lot of good schools, only one gave me a full ride though.

Frankly, I'm not well versed on the GRE or LSAT. I have heard both tests are difficult to pass. But, then again shouldn't only the best and brightest attend grad/law schools? I know that question leaves holes in my original argument...but yeah lol
