I never took the SAT, I may take it once in my senior year, but it really isn't needed for colleges in Michigan.
I got a 33 on my ACT though and I took the PSAT and got 99th percentile in that. I thought the PSAT was a joke test and was sort of disappointed with my results. I thought I had like 3 questions wrong on the whole thing, but it was quite a bit more than that. Still, I thought it was a useless test but it ends up being used for some scholarships or something? I don't know, but I am glad I took it.
Standardized tests have their place, and I guess since I'm pretty good at them I am glad they have the influence they do for college, but I have friends who I think are as smart as I am or smarter and they get lower scores on standardized tests. Seems like an odd system to me. |

Not really. You have to be a National Merit Scholar in order to get any scholarship money from your PSAT/NMSQT, and even then it's piddly, like two thou a year or something.
(I work at an SAT school, I'm not just an SAT nerd I promise.) :) |

The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted: "attributed their success in business to hard work."
Not everyone wants a carrier like your girlfriend. If she wanted it, then she achieved her goal, and good for her. Of course the SATs are not an indicator of everyone's success, but why your posts are stupid is that you are ignoring the base of intellectuals in which college has nurtured since the concept of "college" was founded. Historically, college was not a place to "land a well-paying carrier," it was a place to fuel intellectual growth (it started with ministers). If you wanted to work hard and earn money, you did it by climbing the ranks, which is what most successful business professionals do. (Sure you can get an MBA, but it has been proven that experience and connections matter more.)
So you say that standardized tests mean "shiiiittt". So I assume you think colleges should use grades only in the admission process? Do you remember high school? Grades in high school show how productive you are, how good you are at working the system, and how much motivation you have, not how well you think. Sure, they are good at weeding out the lazy asses who won't achieve anything from those who will, but it is not for separating the brilliant minds from the mediocre. I have heard time after time the tale of the misunderstood intellectual, the guy who ends up in a thinktank or tenure, who does well but does not dwell on the simple system of american high school. Are the study-buddies with average minds more worthy of academia than the brilliant thinker who would rather spend his time reading Proust than go over flash cards? Why can't both get in? Isn't that what college has become, half academia, half real-life preparation?
I think it's funny how you told me not to assume, how you told me to "please think before I post", and yet you ignored the glaring face of academia staring at you. It's what much of college is about.
By the way, I did not find your post articulate at all, and I suggest you change your writing style. (Trying to sound smart does not work for you; you do it poorly.) |
Even if he's not a so called intellectual, at least hes not an arrogant high school kid who thinks hes the hot becuase he scored well on the SATS.
I bet you would change your story mighty fast if you scored lower. |
