Whenever you search a school’s scores, prepscholar or collegesimply give their scores. BUT when you to the school’s website and look at their student profile, the scores are bumped 1-2 points higher.
Am I at the 75th percentile? Or am I not? Someone explain this?
Are you looking at your %ile in your school? You might well be higher nationally than in your school, or vice versa. Either way, it really won’t be a deal breaker at 75/76/77th. .
@Sybylla I am talking about colleges. They only give the 25th to 75th percentile. I am talking about when prepscholar says the 25 - 75th percentile range is 28 - 32, and on the school’s website it is 29 - 33.
I have no idea what you’re talking about
Sorry, you are looking in common data sets? CHeck the dates of the data sets, when I have looked at some of these the dates seem odd. I have no idea how prep scholar might glean such data and how recent it is. For sure for many colleges, ACT score ranges are going to be subject to change maybe even year to year
@Sybylla
So which ones should be more reliable?
Assuming the CDS reports on last year’s cohort, I would take the school’s data. c9 should be for 2016, or most recent published.
Can I get some more answers up in this B?
The most recent CDS published by the school, search for common data set [school name], is going to provide the most recent ACT range. Most schools have not yet published the 2016-2017 CDS yet, this would include data for current freshmen, but some of the ones that have include a few schools where the 75% end of the range has moved from 32 to 33.
The common data set is the most reliable source id say just google your college and then common data set and I think the ACT/SAT stuff is in C9
