Impact of SATs?

<p>don’t listen to eeeeric.</p>

<p>just because that isn’t their “average”, that doesn’t mean there are exceptions for students like you who have exceptional stats except for your SAT’s which really aren’t that bad.</p>

<p>this is prolly a dumb question. i don’t know how people can get Straight A’s but not get 1800+ on the SATs,</p>

<p>Getting strait A’s mostly means doing all your work and studying hard. You really don’t have to be that smart to get strait A’s, you just have to work hard. For the SAT’s however, you actually have to have knowledge and you can’t pass it by simply handing in work or studying for one night, like you would a regular test.</p>

<p>Like some stated, don’t let a SAT score keep you from applying. My friend just got accepted to HARVARD with a 2010. Never doubt yourself man.</p>

<p>counterstrike~ as i’ve said in many places, one person’s STATE let alone in the entire nation can have a HUGE variation in teaching, the way individual teachers grade, the quality of AP instruction, the emphasis on challenge(or not) the grade inflation/deflation as a result of these factors. a 4.2 in one high school can actually be a 3.4 in a very competitive one. so this is where the leveling affect of standardized tests come in. some schools will care less about this correlation, but most will. and Courtney is right on.</p>
