I was wondering if the percentile you get on a state-given final exam mattered at all and whether colleges care about that?
You mean the state assessments.
no
Yeah that’s what I mean. Our school is making them optional and I was wondering if there was a point in mean taking them. Thanks for the response.
If you are concerned, check your in-state public universities, since they are the most likely ones to pay attention to state-specific exams. (although the likelihood even then is low).
They will see your AP (that you note), your SAT/ACT (that you note) and your GPA and transcript (to measure rigor).
What state?
Regardless, it’s extremely unlikely. I can’t speak for all states, but no school in PA that I’ve interacted with has ever expressed any interest in Keystone Exam scores.
I recall from many years ago that NY Regent exams were more important than Keystones are in PA, but see no indication that state universities use them.
