Did Your SAT Scores End Up Reflecting Your Standardized Test Scores In Middle School?

Just wondering ..

i took the ACT, but anyway. I always got above 99th percentile on testing in middle and elementary school. i think my ACT was like 94th percentile. So there was a slight different, but only slight.

Yes. Although I once scored 98th percentile because I didn't take one of them seriously (gave silly answers for short-response questions).

I did better on math in middle school testing, but scored 60 points lower on the math on the SATs. My percentages are comparable, but lower because middle school standardized tests are required for all and SATs, while taken by many, are still optional and the very bottom is weeded out.

No it did not. My middle school tests were a joke, my elementary school test results were a "concern to the school".

99th percentile in 2nd grade. 99th percentile on all EOGs through middle school, math and verbal. 99th percentile on M+CR SAT (97 for writing).

So yes, pretty comparable.

No, they were not consistent at all. In middle school I was in the 99th percentile in standarized testing. This year's PSAT's I was in the 65th percentile. My SAT's were horrible as well!
