Yes, I did fail to to do well on standardized tests, however I did try my very best to learn. I improved my SAT score every time I took it. I was sub 1500 initially. I worked hard to get it up to 1660. The thing I am trying to say is, I did improve, and I worked very hard to improve.

For instance, when I practiced for AP Euro, I initially got 1s a lot. But in the end, I earned a 3 on the real AP test because of the enormous amount of effort I put into my practice. This was practically how every AP test I have taken turned out. I have never anything above a 3. (unless you count AB subscore)

I agree completely with AvidStudent, I failed to learn how to do well on Standardized Tests. But there is a difference between the AP Class and the AP Exam, just as there is a difference between the school experience and the SAT test.

Academic Limits are very vague because of the multiple definitions of “Academics”. I am the only one in my class who is taking Multivariable Calculus at the local college as well as Calculus Based Physics Did My SAT in Math correlate? 670 in a way, yes.
