<p>Once again I did bad on a collegeboard test. I took 2 SAT subject tests and did pretty bad and then in October I did dreadful on the PSAT. My average is over 100 etc) so I don’t know why I cant do well on collegeboard tests. Does anyone else do the same thing, Do good at school but bad on collegeboard tests?</p>
<p>Hm. It probably means that the standard of education in your school is probably very low, especially when there is such a big difference between high grades and low SAT averages…in such cases, you should consider self-studying or just switching schools entirely. Otherwise you’ll be in for a major shock…</p>
<p>I live in Long Island NY known to have some of the best schools in the United States and my school is ranked pretty high.</p>
<p>Hm. Then it could be your course selections…if your courses in general are of a lower level then naturally you won’t be able to excel…(for example for math alg II vs. algII/trig, or honors courses vs. non-honours courses…that kind of thing)</p>
<p>try taking the acts…take a practice test first and see how you do</p>
<p>i live in long island tooo… where do you go?</p>
<p>I take all honors and a few APs. I didn’t do THAT bad but I could’ve done better. I’ll send u a private message fragrl</p>
<p>wait how ‘bad’ did u do exactly?</p>
<p>i’ll send u a private message</p>

<li><p>If your standard of “bad” at the moment is in the 600s, that’s really not terrible at all. If we’re talking 500s or below, there’s probably room for improvement. Don’t let CC inflate your standards unnecessarily high.</p></li>
<li><p>Try taking the ACT. It’s more straightforward for some.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I have the same problem man, i get 600s, and i dont know why, well i do, its mostly fear i guess but i dont know how to over come that fear</p>
<p>I’m kinda worried about the same issue (even though I never took the SAT I, and my June ACT mark hasn’t come out yet). For my gr.10 year (yes, I live in Canada), my average was 95.4%, and for this year it was 94%. Almost ALL of my courses are "honour"s (we don’t really have APs here…), and those averages are unweighed, because … that’s just how they do thing here, there’s no option of making a mark higher even if the course is much harder than the normal course. </p>
<p>I know I’m just worrying in advance, but, would the Canadian education system justify the differences if I don’t score amazingly high on the SAT II’s??</p>
<p>Yea I did get in the 600’s. Thanks for the support. I guess I put too much pressure on myself</p>
<p>DAMN U SMART CC PEOPLE (lol)</p>
<p>Don’t worry, study over summer and you’ll break the 700 barrier and you will feel very damn sexy and ultra powerful!!!</p>
<p>LOL u are my hero Etti</p>
<p>700’s here I come</p>
