<p>I’ve been reading the different threads on this board and am wondering what the marks that are in the hundreds mean when converting them into the Canadian way of scoring.i.e “i got 600 in bio”- like what does that 600 mean in percentage??I know this is a dumb question for you guys but we dont mark that way in Canada.</p>
<p>Those scores aren’t for classes, they’re for the SAT tests. If you’re not familiar with them, the SATs are a set of tests that nearly all colleges in the United States require. See</p>
<p>[::</a> College Planning Made Easy | Inside Source for College Admissions Requirements](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5D::”>http://www.collegeboard.com)</p>
<p>for more information on them. Each test is graded on a scale of 200 to 800. Generally, above a 600 is a good score, and over 700 is a great score.</p>
<p>Note that there are different tests- there is the main SAT, which has three parts: Math, Verbal and Writing, and is therefore graded out of 2400. There are also SAT Subject Tests, including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Literature, US History, World History, 2 Math tests (for two different levels), and a number of language tests. See here for a full list:</p>

<p>If you’re planning on applying to an American college, make sure you take the SATs by the end of high school. Please let me know if I misunderstood your question or if there’s anything else I can answer!</p>
<p>Those scores refer to the SAT tests, administered by the College Board, a national testing company, not school classes. Each test is scored from 200-800. The ACT is an alternative test, scored zero(?) to 36. Check out the forum entitled SAT/ACT.</p>
<p>you guys both answered my question thanx!!</p>
