<p>The best way to deal with the topic’s anomaly is the prep book. There are just some folks who don’t take standardized testing very well despite achieving a lot in school. Now if these same folks are benefiting from easier courses, then that’s another story…</p>
<p>Well i know that I’m not gaining anything from easy classes. I’m a non-degree student at Uconn, meaning i take classes there. I also am in all honors classes except for one class, which is pre-calc and its college prep.</p>
<p>And besides goin to just one school I go to two. A public school and a vocational school for the sciences. I’ve work with instruments that no high school in the state has and one of the instruments yale has, but we have a newer version. So to say the least i have taken science classes
That no high schooler would have thought and have written real lab reports and not those watered down high school ones. </p>
<p>So it is safe to say that i such at standardized testing. Always have and always will. So how to fix that? I don’t know.</p>
<p>Caperi: All my classes last year had tests as 70-80% of the grade o_o</p>
<p>You pretty much can only just study, practice, and absorb knowledge whenever you can. I went from a 194 PSAT sophomore year to 208 PSAT (no studying in between but I worked hard in school) to a 2270 SAT (with studying/school, and I’m studying more to bump that up to ~2340 superscore). The SAT certainly is not an indicator of success, however, so don’t worry too much about it.</p>
