It’s quizlet and crap. They have it on their phones, tablets, laptops and other stuff. It’s easy to get and A if you already know the answers. Meanwhile, the actual smart kids are getting lost in the crowd of 110 IQ fakers.
@JenJenJenJen yeah, one of my teachers was getting too many pissed off parents, so she stopped taking the correct amount of points off and started taking off a point for each question wrong. ???
Wow, @“R. Catfish” you responded to a comment I made in July, 2017; well over a year ago! Thanks, I guess, for reviving an old thread and getting me to sign back on to this site…Unless, as your user name suggests, I’ve been catfished. 
It stands for Raphael Catfish, a kind of aquarium armored catfish. I have one and wanted to see if anyone would get the reference. I’m new to this site and was just cruising. Often, it’s worth reviving old threads because the people who used to write on them have probably learned something new they’d like to share since that time.
It might be the urgency of teachers to promote high grades yet flounder on the SAT as it doesn’t correalate with their performance
Some teachers give options for extra credit while others curve tests when students do poorly making it easier for students to receive an A in their class. The SAT is different where there are no lucky breaks for students. This could explain why A’s are on the rise while SAT scores are going down.
“might be”?
And so many still want to throw out the SAT’s leaving kids who actually attend a decent high school in the same pile as those who do little with the same “A” grade. No thanks. Standardized tests are there just for this reason. IMHO, they should go back to the old days and make the SAT really hard. So that only a handful of kids in the country get a perfect score. Make it show who is good, better, stellar and truly exceptional.
That sounds like bad news to me. Feel good grade inflation is not a good thing.
Damn this makes it even worse for me. I have a 3.5 unweighted gpa but a 1520 sat. Does this make entering a good college even worse?
I can see this in my school, people who aren’t deserving of a good grade are given it anyways.
APOL I used to believe as you do until I watched a particular student work very, very hard to earn his top grades. His SAT scores not so great but both in high school and college the kid was very successful due to his time management skills, ability to use resources, and hard work.
