<p>I ask because I do work hard in my classes but the SAT just whoops my butt, specifically the math because I am so extremely slow. My sat super score is 1810 [CR: 700, M:520, W:590] with a 3.6-7 GPA at the end of my junior year.</p>
<p>I am a homeschooler but the majority of my classes have been taken out side the home or graded by an outside source. So I have no idea how that plays into the assumption of grade inflation.</p>
<p>Will colleges just assume that my grades are inflated because of my low SAT?</p>
<p>How many times have you taken the SAT? I would tell you to try the ACT, but if you’re a slower worker, that might not be the best idea. Just keep taking practice tests and try the SAT again. </p>
<p>1800 is not low, so I don’t think colleges will be crying grade inflation.</p>
<p>My overall GPA at end of junior year is also between 3.6-3.7. I find myself to be a slow test taker, and the ACT really say differently of my knowledge. None of my classes have curved or did grade inflation… even Ap Biology, not one student in the class ( at least speaking for 1-3 marking periods) earn an A, and the tests where everyones grade was low… we all expected it to be curved, but never happens.</p>
<p>No, they won’t assume grade inflation. Many, many hard working kids get great grades but don’t score well. Keep your list realistic for your scores and your grades will help a lot. Also look at SAT optional schools.</p>
<p>Colleges are going to look for more objective measures or descriptions</p>

<p>Yeah, I’d say that’s probably true for most colleges when you’re homeschooled. Exceptions I think would be Christian colleges since they understand that several families interested in the school are missionaries, for example, and don’t have access to decent schools. My girlfriend was in a similar situation as you - only higher GPA and lower SAT scores. She did co-op and dual enrollment and was told that those would play higher importance in her admissions decision than her homeschool transcript.</p>
