[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The unwashed masses of [b]Ohio State with over 40,000 students[/b] and their freshman class test submitting rate is 20% for SAT and 60% for ACT. Yuck. Who knew absolute dunces were walking amongst us. /s[/quote]

And any large state school that everyone touts. Even the Southern ones that have the least educated populations. They all must be dummies because of TO.

Sounds silly, right?[/quote]
Not dummies necessarily, but almost certainly less academically qualified than students submitting test scores. [/quote]

Submitting scores often just indicates your parents have the funds to spend on multiple tests and professional test prep. [/quote]

Nope, tons of free resources. It’s work ethic and drive that’s the problem. That being said, oldest got perfect score no prep. Youngest got a top score with next to no prep and didn’t have the work ethic to put time into math to do even better. Oldest had rigor and perfect gps, youngest has less rigor and average gpa.

It’s not money, it’s innate ability and drive. [/quote]

It can be about innate ability and drive, but when that’s not there, money steps up.

I took the SAT once, no prep. Was always really good at taking standardized tests (but my career’s a total flop, I hate to tell you all). My first kid will likely take the test at least three times and we’re paying a tutor $100/hr in between. I have zero doubt that she’ll excel in college. She is an avid reader and loves to write and think and analyze, but she needs coaching to get her math score up to a level where she can submit. She’ll likely never need to take an actual math course in college, though. [/quote]
