Are there any ways to assess true intellectual abilities beyond academic performance indicators such as test scores and GPA?
Yes, there are. That’s why, for example, colleges usually allow people whose talents aren’t easily measured using standardized tests or school grades (e.g. artists) to submit portfolios of artwork, recordings of their performances, etc. Athletes are recruited by coaches who measure the prospective student athletes’ abilities. College admission essays also force students to express themselves and, hopefully, tell the admissions committee who they really are - what their goals are, if they’re likely to meet those goals, their ability to express themselves appropriately, and their relative maturity level (an essay that’s all about how a students wants to “be super rich and drive a hot car” might not play as well as an essay by a serious academic expressing how this college is the best place for them to take the next step in their academic development). Personal interviews may also play the same role, although many college interviews are more for the purpose of allowing the students to ask questions about the college than to gather information about the student for the college. Letters of recommendation may also serve the same purpose. An instructor’s, classmates’, or employer’s evaluation of a given student should give insight into that student that written tests and grades (unless they’re descriptive grades, not simple letter grades) cannot. Hope this helps! Why do people take the SAT/ACT multiple times?
They want to improve their SAT/ACT scores. Both tests are based on math, reading, grammar, etc. - all things you can improve with practice. Also, practicing those particular tests by taking them will can greatly improve your scores in later attempts, since you’ll be familiar with how the questions are presented to you, and what you’ll be expected to do. There are also factors that depend random events that might make it desirable for you retake the ACT or SAT. Some such events might deal with your health- you’re sick on the test day, but not sick enough to stay home, so you take test when you feel like dirt. You could have a death in the family, experience a breakup with your significant other, or have some other emotional problem that might distract you from the test. You might get into a car accident on the way to the test, or the car might break down. Even if they let you into the test late (I don’t believe they do), that probably wouldn’t be your best test score if you retook the test. The SAT/ACT both allow you to pick and choose what scores to send, so many schools will only see your highest scores, although some schools require you report all your SAT and ACT scores. Some schools even offer “superscoring” so you can combine the highest scores from different sections. You’d have to take the ACT or SAT more than once for these things to help you. Those are at least some of the reasons people take the SAT and ACT multiple times. Hope this helps! Answer to Quora Question: "How many times can we retake the ACT or SAT in the United States?"1/19/2023 How many times can we retake the ACT or SAT in the United States?
Practically as many times as you want. Realistically, that’s about 7 to 10 times per year, for weekend SATs, so maybe 24 to 35 times between 9th grade and the first semester of 12th grade. It looks like there are up to 6 more “school day” administrations that the SAT offers, so you could add 21 more dates to the previous count, for a total of 45 and 56 dates. I’m not at all sure you could actually take all the School Day SATs, or even just one of them (They’re generally for schools that pay for their students to have a special SAT session, and you have to have the school contact you). The ACT offers a similar program, but I don’t see if there are particular ACT “school days” or not. The number of weekend ACTs is the same as the number of weekend SATs, so you can take the ACT about the same as the SAT. You’d have to be crazy to take those tests that many times. It would be a better use of your time to work hard in school, do volunteer work, etc. But hey, it’s your time and money. Answer to Quora Question "Is the SAT certificate equivalent to a high school certificate?"1/19/2023 Is the SAT certificate equivalent to a high school certificate?
There’s no “SAT certificate”- you just get an SAT score. No SAT score is equivalent to a high school diploma - that’s a GED (General Equivalency Diploma). See Get Your GED - Classes, Online Practice Test, Study Guides, More | GED® Get your GED using official GED test study material, classes, and practice questions. Learn how to get a high school equivalency diploma with GED®. https://ged.com/for more information. Hope this helps! Do online courses (like Khan Academy) help when preparing for an exam such as the SAT/ACT or is there no substitute to real teacher training?
There’s no substitute for real live teacher training. Khan Academy videos, etc. are great, but video sessions with a tutor or teacher are better, and in-person training with a teacher or tutor is better. A video can’t stop and answer your questions. Video conferencing doesn’t give you the same experience as being with a person “live” in the same place. It’s just easier for you and the instructor to pick up on each other's body language and to pay attention to each other. It’s really easy for a student on Zoom, for instance, to be distracted by the Web, especially if the video lesson has many students and only one instructor. It’s also better to have tutoring one-on-one or in small groups for the same reason. It’s too easy to lose focus in a large class, and the instructor can’t give you the same individual attention as in a small group. Hope this helps! Do colleges ever rescind their acceptance letters if the student does not reply within a certain time period after receiving the letter?
Yes. At some point, if you don’t respond and take the next steps necessary attend a college that’s accepted your application, your acceptance will be rescinded, and a “wait list” student will be offered your space. Make sure you read everything the college sends you, and respond well before every deadline! To apply to the University of California, Berkeley, do you need to take the SAT or ACT?
No. A California court has ruled that it is illegally discriminatory for any University of California campus to use the SAT or ACT. So not only do you not need to take the ACT or the SAT, UC Berkeley can’t even consider those test scores when deciding on your application. Do all students take the SAT subject tests in English?
The normal SAT (or SAT I) is always given in English, so yes, all students that that test in English. The old “SAT subject tests,” most recently called the SAT II tests, covered many subjects, including foreign languages, so at least some SAT subjects tests were not given in English. However, since those tests are no longer given, this is a moot point. Hope this helps! What is the reason why there are no multiple choice questions on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT)?
There are many multiple-choice questions on the LSAT. In fact, most of the LSAT questions are multiple choice questions. Sorry, either you are deeply mistaken, or you’re a troller. |
