<p>I’m a bad test taker</p>
<p>1950/31</p>

800 math 2c
790 physics
EE</p>
<p>woah. i have the same exact stats as thefrencharmy. but CSE</p>
<p>Oh, okay, that really helps a lot.
I’ve been worried about it, because my gpa isn’t fantastic (3.5 UW, 4.0 W) and my SAT/ACT scores are mediocre (1790 first try & retaking/28 first try & retaking)</p>
<p>However, my ECs are pretty good (Speech&Debate, Children’s Programs Coordinator, Dance Teams, Theatre, Special Ed Outreach, 200 Volunteer Hours, NHS President, etc), so maybe, just maybe I could get in :D</p>
<p>i will miss calc 2 guy forever =(</p>
<p>Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.</p>
<p>1500.</p>
<p>How embarrassing.</p>

<p>Quote:
"A person can be a good test taker and not necessarily understand the material in the class and still get an A. You can be a good test taker by understanding the professor and knowing what types of questions he’s generally going to ask (based on previous exams, bruinwalk, previous students).</p>
<p>Good test takers know how to get partial credit even if they don’t understand how to solve the problem.</p>
<p>Good test takers can cram.</p>
<p>Good test takers have a better chance at answering a multiple choice question by analyzing the probabilities and trends (this is true in certain cases where professors want to balance out the answers. example: if true, give a proof. if false, give a counter example. there would probably be at least 1 true and 1 false answer)</p>
<p>Bad test takers, on the other hand, may understand all the material in the class and still fail the exams. Bad test takers also get distracted or discouraged really easily."</p>
<p>Great explanation, because I am a great test taker and that is exactly what I do!</p>
<p>i looked on collegeboard.com and the stats for the average ucla first year right now are as follows:
SAT Critical Reading: 570 - 680
SAT Math: 600 - 730
SAT Writing: 580 - 700
ACT Composite: 25 - 31 </p>
<p>so overall, if you have a score between 1760 and 2110 then you’ll be in the middle as far as SAT scores go.</p>
<p>don’t stress too much, half the time, getting a very good score on the SAT is a matter of luck anyways. studying can only get you so far- you never know what’s actually going to be on the test, just the format.</p>
<p>imo, that’s more useful to know than each of our individual scores.</p>

<p>I don’t know what to tell yah. Hahaha. I did really poor on the SATs and really good on the SAT II.</p>
<p>Hahahaha so I don’t know what type of test taker I am.</p>

<p>I like this profile of admitted students. It’s 2008, but there’s a 2009 out there somewhere.</p>

<p>Here’s 2009</p>

<p>BTW… My daughter did NOT get in with a 2040.</p>
<p>SAT: 2340
ACT:34
SATIIs were all in the 780-800 range
13 APs - 9 5s, 4 4’s</p>
<p>Major: Biochemistry</p>
<p>HOWEVER, my GPA was absolutely horrible, I mean, weighted it was above 4, but non-weighted…not even close.</p>
<p>For me, 2110. Only took it once. Let me explain how misleading this score was (and how in general it points to how useless SAT scores are).</p>
<p>Critical reading: 630
Math: 800
Writing: 680</p>
<p>With a score like that, I must be a real genius at math, right? Wrong. </p>
<p>I took a total of six semesters of non-geometry math (which I’ll ignore since that was freshman year). Alg 2/Trig, precal, and AP Calc AB. I got B’s in four of them, and these were like ugly B’s (80%, 81%). I constantly got C’s and D’s on short answer tests despite studying beforehand.</p>
<p>So how the hell did I get a 800? It’s all about the creative manipulation of a calculator. Seriously. Every standardized multiple choice math test I’ve taken - I can literally not understand the material and still ace it. SAT Reasoning Math is a load of BS and I will give free tutorials to anyone who wants to get a 700+ with no effort. I also got a 720 on the Math II subject test despite taking it with a 6-9 month gap between the time I had learned the material and the day of test. I didn’t even study the night before.</p>
<p>Now, moving away from math, I got a 630 on Critical Reading. Hmm, I must be decent at it but not my best subject. Wrong. I was consistently one the highest ranked students in all my English classes and scored a 5 on the AP English Lit/Comp exam. I just happened to narrow down a lot of problems to two answers, played the roulette, and got unlucky.</p>
<p>The SAT is hilariously inaccurate as an indicator of academic skill.</p>
<p>^ lol, wish you were around two years ago when i was taking all my SAT tests. I’d like to think I’m a great test taker, but for some reason, the SAT kills me. =_=</p>
<p>1810 SAT/4.4 GPA overall</p>
<p>Lots of ECs though.</p>
<p>No worries, I have a friend from HS who got in with a 1500 ish and I have 2 friends at Berkeley that got in with a 1320 and a 1510. They had high GPAs and lots of ECs though haha.</p>
<p>zzzboy:</p>
<p>"…sorry to say, but that sucks for you guys. you shouldnt let dumb ***** like that make you lose your focus. "</p>
<p>You sound like a cocky ass, I bet you’re a real social butterfly and hit with the ladies at UCLA.</p>
<p>Some people just don’t do well at tests. </p>
<p>I got a 1680 on my SATs and I got into both UCLA and Berkley, no joke. And no I’m not black, I’m asian, just a normal guy no special circumstances. </p>
<p>Don’t believe me? I go to UCLA right now.</p>
<p>whoa *** called out right when i log on.</p>
<p>lol i wasnt being cocky there. im just saying you shouldnt let little things like pencil tapping get to your head. how is that cocky?</p>
<p>fall back.</p>
