<p>I’m a freshman in high school and I gave the mathematics MAPS test recent and I scored 281. Is that good? How much did you get? (for those of you who have taken the test)
What is the highest score you’ve heard of? For a freshman, I think 281 is pretty good, any opinions on that?</p>
<p>They have MAPS tests at my school, too. For mathematics the average freshman score is around mid 230’s, and high 270’s/low 280’s is generally 99th percentile, so you did awesome (around 50 points higher than the average, which is good). I received a 320 at the beginning of this year, and that’s the highest score I’ve heard of. (Before I got a 320, the highest score I’d heard of was a 310 from this kid who was taking Calculus as a sophomore.)</p>
<p>MAPS testing…that sounds like the thingy I took in elementary/middle school. I remember higher scores for it though (up through 600, if I remember correctly).</p>
<p>Hm, maybe different tests…</p>
<p>I took it grades 5-9 i think. got 255 ish in 5th grade and 288 in 9th</p>
<p>I know what you’re talking about. A 281 is really good, yes. I believe the highest is 300, but my friend would always say he had gotten over 300, but I don’t believe him. My highest was a 294 in math.</p>
<p>what’s this MAPS test for?</p>
<p>@yakisoba, geographical skills</p>
<p>Oh I get it, you have to carry the 1 and divide by pi squared to find Atlantis on a map of China. Gotcha.</p>
<p>no, you got it all wrong dude, you multiply the reciprocal by the reciprocal and THEN carry the 1, rest of it is fine though. I’m guessing you get a 870/the mass of the sun. </p>
<p>With those scores your reaches are Iowa State and University of Yakisoba (legacy might help you). ``</p>
<p>I’m applying LD to U of Y, since it’s my dream school. Do you think I could get in with a 69 on the ACT?</p>
<p>Yakisoba might be rough, I heard their acceptance rate has gone down to a 99.9%. A 69 is okay, use the Yellow Book and take some practice tests to try and get a perfect 69.69696969. The Yale Review is a misrepresentation of how hard it is, and Marron’s is probably your best choice to get the perfect score. Chance me back for U of Y?</p>
<p>69.6 ACT (so close)
EC’s include finding nemo and waldo
Teacher recs are solid
Wrote my essay on how I found Waldo</p>
<p>Ehh the 69.6 ACT may hold you back, finding nemo isn’t really that good an EC b/c we already know where to find him (it’s in the movie), waldo definitely is impressive. Overall I’d say the nemo bit adds to your passion of discovering things, maybe you could do other things related to that, like finding Edward Snowden or the legendary monkeys in charge of the US government?</p>
<p>Teacher rec looks good, I’m assuming your essay is good-killer, so I’d say high match/low reach.</p>
<p>Heads up though, U of Y requires 5 subject tests. I’ve taken four so far:</p>
<p>SAT II Twerking: 800
SAT II Planking Level II: 760 (I got careless and started to fall off during the end of the test)
SAT II Swagology: 800 Cause I got oodles of #swag.
SAT II COD Ghosts: 650 (bad wi-fi connection & campers)</p>
<p>Overall I think the 650 will pull me down. What do you think?</p>
<p>Aw, I feel left out. I’ll never get in the U of Y with only 630 on my SAT II for twerking. So jealous of you guys.</p>
<p>Finding the monkeys is relatively simple, I’ll head to the Capitol during a vote on whether or not we should spend billions on finding Edward Snowden and that’ll probably lead me to him as well. Nice SAT II’s, but I guess you should check the requirements again. The new norm is taking the SAT 69’s. It’s okay though, they’re simple as well. I really hate COD too, I can never catch them, especially when they do become ghosts. I mean, why can’t I fish without campers in the vicinity and not being able to watch my instructional video on how to catch COD without lag?</p>
