31

<p>Congrats, but why din’t you take the math 2, its usually better for Indian students to take math 2</p>

32

<p>looks like @vanshmurad‌ was correct, retaking the SAT din’t make much difference. I’m taking the ACT now</p>

33

<p>@prabhu1998 dont be overjoyed, many elite college dont accept maths 1</p>

34

<p>Hey guys! What are your school’s grading scales like for 11th and 12th? I have a B (50-59.9) in math in 11th, so I was wondering how colleges would see that. I used an online calculator and according to that my GPA is 3.90. Other wise everything else is fine - A+ in all other subjects and 10 CGPA in 9th and 10th.
Anyone got any info?</p>

35

<p>@shystarryskies we dont report in gpa, we report in percentage for 11 and 12</p>

36

<p>@vanshmurad My school has converted each subject into grades using the scale:
A+ = 80-100
A= 70-79
B+= 60-69
B= 50-59
C= 40-50
D= 33-39
F= <33</p>

37

<p>@shystarryskies Its really poor on your school’s part because its CBSE guideline for A+to be in 90-100
Which board does your school follow ?</p>

38

<p>Hey Vansh, is it worth taking the ACT in December on Standby? I saw on the website that score reports take 2 weeks - 8 weeks. If the scores take more than 3 weeks it wouldn’t be worth it. How much time did it take to get your score?</p>

<p>I scored a 1920 on the SAT.</p>

39

<p>@sidshah9‌ are you definitely taking the ACT?</p>

<p>@vanshmurad Thing is, where I live, all the schools follow the exact same system. It’s a CBSE school. According to my counselor, it’s the official grade conversion from WES, so that’s why they do it. I assumed all schools do this though.</p>
