Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys, I've been wondering, what high schools do you go to, if it’s private/ public, what’s your average SAT score, GPA, and if it is nationally ranked. I'm trying to see if your score is affected by your high school</p>

<p>Ill start it off.</p>

<p>My SAT: 2040
My GPA: 4.27
Clovis East High School
Public
Average SAT's: 1350 SAT's (New) (If you don’t know, you could guess or convert it to the new scale.)
My High School is defiantly not ranked.</p>

2

<p>My Sat: 2120
My GPA: 3.74 UW (Washington State does not weigh grades..)
Public High School
Average SAT's: Old-1050 Not sure about new according to some scale it would be around 1530
My High School couldn't get ranked in anything but sports if it tried...</p>

3

<p>My SAT: haven't officially taken it yet actually, but I assume it will be 2200~2350. (probably M: 800, CR: 680~760, W: 720~790)
My GPA: 97%
Number one public high school in Canada; extremely competitive; one of the top IB schools in the world.</p>

4

<p>My SAT: 2220 (800M =D lol)
My GPA: about 96.5-97%
Townsend Harris High School- best public school in queens (NY) or w/e and it IS better than Stuyvesant, but people reconize the name Stuyvesant more, grrrr
Public
Average SAT's: i dont know, but a few dfferent teachers have said, that for such a good school that it is, the scores are on the low side (i dont know what they mean by low though)</p>

<p>coolnessrookie... how can u just predict your score like that?? you havent even taken the test at all... lol</p>

5

<p>My ACT: Haven't Taken It
My GPA: 93%
Murrah High School
Average ACT Score: 24
My high school is the top academic high school in our district. We have great sports teams, except the football team. :-(</p>

6

<p>ACT: 30
GPA: 95.223
Health Careers High SChool
Average ACT: 24.0
Medical Magnet School, one of the best in Texas ;-)</p>

7

<p>SAT: 2140 (last was a 1950, i dont feel like doing math and averaging)
GPA: 3.14 (It's weird, i just fail languages)
Philadelphia's best high school (private) ranked 11th in the nation for cost/value ratio in the wall street journal at some point. Usually 25 are accepted into UPenn out of a class of 90.</p>

8

<p>SAT: 2400
GPA: 3.4 (I have no excuses)
Small parochial school in rural Iowa
Average SAT: I have no idea. Most people here take the ACT.
National Ranking: puhlease......but we were state champions in basketball my junior year....I was 6th man and averaged about 7 points and 4 turnovers a game.</p>

9

<p>SAT: 2060 SAT2's:2200
ACT: 33
GPA: 3.6 hardest classes APs/Adv
Preppy private school in Missouri
Average scores... 28 ACT and like ... 1900ish? sat's
I'm pretty sure we're nationally ranked</p>

10

<p>ilovemath, i meant i haven't taken it officially, but obviously i've taken some practice tests.</p>

11

<p>Why does it seem like the better of a high school you go to, the -normally- the higher the SAT? I dont think they are on average smarter? Is it because of the difficulty of curriculm? Or do privates offer prep services?</p>

12

<p>SAT scores are highly correlated with socioeconomic status - mucgh more so than with acatual academic achievement. The best predictor of high SAT's is being a student at an affluent public high school or an independent (not parochial) private school</p>

13

<p>SAT: (haven't taken officially, but in practice tests) 700CR, 800M, 750W
SAT 2: Math IC: 800, Math IIC: 800, Physics: 800 (I am a junior and will take chemistry and biology in december)
GPA: 5.00/5.00 (unweighted) (Our country's education system is different. You cannot choose classes until the junior year, and from every class, you are given a grade in a scale of 1-5. If you never get a 4, your GPA becomes 5.00) (rank: 1/220) (I am taking IB classes now, 4 high levels with special permission from IB organization) (most demanding available) (Some students self study ap exams-I am preparing for ap calculus bc, ap statistics, ap biology, ap chemistry, ap physics B [and maybe ap world history and ap english language and composition])
The Koc School, Turkey
One of the best private schools in Turkey (maybe next to Robert College, yet)
SAT average (about): 550CR, 550W (I know it is pathetic but we are international students), 750M (Almost half the class gets 800 from math without any preparation)</p>
