<p>Wow, when i look at all the people's score, i felt very dumb. i mean all of you people are soo smart. i was just wondering, do u guys study hard for ur grades and yes,then how do u study . Give me some advice please.
Thanks</p>
<p>sat or normal work?</p>
<p>Test scores and grades aren't necessarily related. Just keep working at it and stay motivated, and if you believe you can do it and strive hard enough, then you can. As Edison said, 99% of it is effort. And SAT's are 99% doing practice tests. </p>
<p>(I feel a little like a hypocrite pontificating about motivation and all, but hey...hope it helps...)</p>
<p>SAT, my wrost fear and wrostest grade</p>
<p>Einstein said 90% of it is, I believe... He also said "Knowledge is limited, but imagination encircles the world..." That poster was in my math class.</p>
<p>ahhhh, give me some advice on how to prepare for the fall ACT? PLEASE SOMEBODY</p>
<p>lol my SAT scores and grades don't correlate at all. For example, i got an 800 in Chemistry, but I got a B in honors chem :(. I also had to drop out of honors precalculus (i was getting a C in that class :/ but now i have an A in regular), but I got and 800 on the SAT I math and a 800 on SAT II math 1c.</p>
<p>So pretty much those have nothing to do with each other.</p>
<p>Grades in school mostly depend on how hard you try. SATs also require effort, but a lot more depends on talent.</p>
<p>My best friend got a C in honors precalc, but got an 800 on the math IIC and the regular SAT math.</p>
<p>febrabbit:
dont ask me...i got a 25 composite (32 in math though).remember, people on this site Lie cuz they are too ashamed to show their real stats and giving themselves "fake" stats makes them feel better.</p>
<p>tbam:
your school might have grade deflation which is good for your school in general when colleges see that.</p>
<p>sat? just keep on practicing</p>
<p>hmm besides that, i think it is based on ur test taking skills...which is somewhat a gift from brith</p>
<p>well, i dont lie because i know i need face the reality, so there is no point to lie to the people u dont even know. so i just want to know how to study for the ACT</p>
<p>The ACT is more aligned to your coursework. Just stay on top of things in school, get the official ACT book and do practice tests as test time draws closer...and if you're like me, spend extra time on the science with relation to time management so you can cruise through without rushing. Practice problems as always are your best friend. </p>
<p>(Eugene, do you and your best friend own Ti-89s? ;))</p>

<p>But do we have any idea what percentage of people lie? Take claims with a grain of salt, but don't dismiss them outright.</p>
<p>thanks. but even though i get almost all A's in school but i am very bad at these kind of Test
but thanks anyway</p>
<p>"(Eugene, do you and your best friend own Ti-89s? )"</p>
<p>nope. haha. i guess i should get one.</p>
<p>I am sorry if I offend any of you but looking at the ACT stats it is very unlikely that of 300 young men and women who got over a 32 that 20+ would be here.</p>
<p>Im just playing. Geeze take a joke. I really look up to all of you. The highest ever at my school was a 27( I studyed for weeks) and that was mine. This just shows the long way that we have to go to fill the education gap. </p>
<p>Good job.</p>
<p>I have found that the best way to deal with these standardized tests is not to study at all, and not to even think about it. I forgot, for example, that I would be taking the SAT IIs this June until a couple days before. Then I did the 10 or so sample questions collegeboard offers for each test. It's the most studying I have done for any of the standardized tests, also including the SAT I and the ACT. And I'm perfectly happy with my scores, even if they aren't amazingly fabulous. I got a 33 on the ACT, a 1990 on the SAT I, and a 710 and 680 on the SAT II literature and US history, repectively. I'm not taking any more tests, and all of these I did without stress or time-wasting studying. The perfect method, in my opinion. :)</p>
<p>Why would you lie on CC? What does that get you? People will then just give you unrealistic college choices...and you will be rejected. How does that boost your ego?</p>
<p>1.) I'd bet my life that most people on this board don't lie about scores too often.
2.) be a star--- This method of which you speak is crap... You probably go to a good school and have great teachers and therefore don't have to prep b/c you already know what you need to know... If kids didn't prep, only the rich kids that go to private schools would have good SAT scores... Maybe they didn't learn the concepts in school well enough because they either weren't taught, weren't taught well enough, or were too lazy to try to learn it. Anyway, I didn't mean to offend you, but I just wanted to let you know that your case doesn't apply to the average person. However, most people on this site could get a 2000 because most kids that do well in school come from the upper class....</p>
<p>I don't go to a private school, and I'm not upper class. I do, however, have a good head on my shoulders with plenty of common sense. Oh, and none of my teachers have been wonderful, except for history, and that is my lowest score. I'm an A- average student. I'm perfectly normal, besides my obsession with speaking properly. And as for my ACT science section, I attribute that to my educated guessing abilities.</p>
<p>One thing's for sure: practice never hurt anyone's scores.</p>
