Sorry, but grades/ec activities are WAY more important

I’m sorry, but it’s generally a good indicator. Not perfect, but useful in categorisation. I couldn’t understand how you could possibly get in the 500s if you’d taken ANY advanced classes, I’m sorry to say. I have to be honest, that’s just plain… bad? Honestly. I’m not trying to attack you, but I just want you to analyse yourself rather than criticise the test, which has worked pretty well for the majority of people, and it’s good enough to where it’s still used in the admissions process by a majority of the best schools.
