Uneven standardized test scores

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>The downfall on both ACT and SAT is due to the timed aspect. not a fast reader…never will be.</p>

<p>ACT : R 31 M 34 W 34 S 24<br>
31 composite</p>

<p>SAT: R 640 M 780 W 790<br>
2190</p>

<p>Previous sittings of both tests were practically the same</p>

<p>During non timed practice tests, (Science and English on ACT and Critical Reading on SAT,) scores are consistently around the 95th percentile. Practice has not improved these scores when up against the clock.</p>

<p>PSAT not that much different. Dont remember the exact numbers but R was significantly lower than M and W, yet still made Commended Student in spite of the poor show on R.</p>

<p>Other info. 3.98 UW: as many H and AP as schedule would allow. Weighted GPA is around 4.12 I think. </p>

<p>Excellent Leaderships: Several presidencies: Key Club, Student Council</p>

<p>Excellent ECs at National Level. Full Merit Scholarship to Study Russian in Russia last summer. Continuing with Russian during this school year with tutor</p>

<p>So concerned about these outlying scores. Any sense of how schools such as Georgetown for SFS, Tufts, Dartmouth, Yale, Brown would interpret?</p>

<p>They would interpret it as someone who is not good at standardized test reading. It’s not that big of a deal since your total scores are decent.</p>

3

<p>4.12 is a little low for W gpa, esp since you took all honors classes, or does your school calculate it differently?</p>
