Perfect SAT Score

<p>population of the globe is expanding, and thus there will be more and more people acing the SAT; and more and more competent students applying to universities. what will happen in the future?! in the future only the PERFECT students will be accepted to any “good” university!!!</p>

<p>Maybe they’ll just make the SAT harder and harder so that doesn’t happen?</p>

<p>SAT is, by any means, a measurement test and only a part of college admissions. A perfect score guarantees nothing, though it might give you quite a significant boost.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This sort of nonsense did not merit a thread.</p>

<p>At any rate, a 2400 on the SAT exam, even when taken in a single sitting, does not make a student “perfect.”</p>

<p>We will be seeing more 2400 but more lower scores, too.</p>

<p>I feel like CB will add a science section like the ACT. make it a 3200 test…just the thought gives me the chills…</p>

<p>The number of graduating seniors in 2009 who received 2400 was only three greater than the number of graduating seniors in 2008 who received 2400.</p>

<p>You forget that, with more people in the world, come more colleges. Decades and centuries from now, it’s not as if HYPS will be the only colleges everyone wants to go to.</p>

<p>Based on 2009 data out of 1,500,000 approx test takers only approx 3500 kids score more than 2320.</p>

<p>So do not get dejected and obssessed with perfect scores. There are many may top colleges who would die for that 2250+ score and good application profile( stress the “and” part)</p>

<p>

Nah, totally different type of test. ACT is achievement (what you’ve learned), while SAT is aptitude (how well you will do in college. A type of intelligence tests, though pretty much defunct in psychological circles). Science would be achievement, not aptitude. Math is close, but viewed as necessary for an aptitude test. Of course, if they made it achievement, that would be better, in which case, they could add science (maybe by making other sections shorter)</p>

<p>A 3200 point test… How long would that take to administer? I’m already scared at the notion of such a beast.</p>

<p>Actually, science isn’t purely achievement. Aptitude at doing science differs from knowledge of information already gained from science.</p>

<p>^ Right. Science is sort of like a CR section in which you read graphs and extrapolate simple scientific facts. Not really science at all.</p>

<p>The ACT science section is a reasoning test. You do not really need to know any specific science facts to score well on the test. It is much less of an achievement test and more of na apptitude test then the other sections of the ACT.</p>

<p>^ Knowing a lot of science helped me significantly on the Science section of the ACT.</p>

<p>“what will happen in the future?! in the future only the PERFECT students will be accepted to any “good” university!!!”</p>

<p>Oh nooo!! Ahhhh! :O</p>
