<p>I'm just curious as to whether or not students with higher highschool GPAs get higher ACT scores than those with lower GPAs. I have a 4.0, but I didn't feel as confident with the ACT this June (for the first time) as I generally do with my grades. We'll see where I stand when I get my scores, I guess.</p>
<p>It would be great if you could post your highest composite scores and current GPAs, to see if there's some kind of relation.</p>
<p>This question has probably been asked before, but I don't feel like doing the research necessary to find the answer hahaha. Thanks!</p>
<p>My highest composite so far is a 33 (I also took the June test, however). My GPA is about 3.9 (there are more numbers after the 9 but I don’t know what they are). I am ranked third in my class to give you a ballpark of what that represents at my school (though we rank by weighted GPAs, my unweighted rank is about the same as my weighted one). If I had to guess, 33 is tied for the highest ACT score in my class; I know of a few others who also have 33s but don’t know of anyone with a higher score.</p>
<p>I would say that it’s just like anything else - some people are inherently better test-takers than others. Some of the smartest (and I mean SMARTEST, definitely HYP smart) people I know have never scored above a 30. And then there are kids at my school who have GPA’s in the low 3’s, yet score nearly perfect. I’m sure that the kids with 4.0s tend to score very well, but the ACT and your GPA are indicators of different skill sets.</p>
<p>There’s also the possibility of grade inflation. Some students may have 4.0s due to grade inflation, so their standardized test scores on low. </p>
<p>I got a 33 (Also took it again in June) and my UW GPA is ~3.8+ and my W GPA is ~4.3. I know a girl you has a W GPA ~3.8 and got a 28. Idk if that helps.</p>
