[quote=Anonymous]Congrats on the good scores! It's a little early to start thinking about colleges until you are a bit older and ready to make decisions about urban vs. rural, big vs. small, tech vs. ivy, and all the rest. Trust me, you will have strong opinions about each of these in a few years! Meanwhile, the best way to get up the writing and critical reading scores (which aren't bad at all, but lower than your math scores), at least at your age, is probably to read a ton. And read challenging books - not just the fun books, but books that make you think. Colleges look at other variables besides test scores. For example, they look at whether you seem to have a passion, and leadership in school or other activities. Frankly, it's a little early to worry about these things in 7th and 8th grade. But it's probably useful to know about them, in a general sort of way, as you figure out what your passions are. And you're still young, so take time to figure out what you like![/quote]
