Test score

simple. National test scores should be optional on college applications. Scores like the ACT and SAT are the biggest declining factor on college applications.

College is a critical point in a person’s life and they should feel eager about going, not stressed about…

standardized test scores accurately define an individual’s intelligence. Along with that, we are also taught that having a low GPA score means we are senseless and useless, and a high GPA score means we should expect a successful future because we are so bright and intelligent. Standardized tests and GPAs are both common mechanisms for measuring intelligence, but are also systems which can be cheated. For this reason, intelligence is not something that can be measured by a silly test; it is…

My LJI test scores improved compared to my first test score at LJI, but I’m not satisfied. I could have done so much better if I worked as hard from the beginning of the program. I have to admit I was not ready for the first test I took for LJI. My test score proved me right. I studied for the test by reading my notes as I did my homework. I studied last minute on the train the morning I was going to take the test and used my memory of what I learned in class. I guess you could say that I winged…

Ever since I was young, I was told to focus solely on my grades in school by my parents. As I got older, I realized that, while high marks and solid standardized test scores do indeed provide some indication of how well a student works, they are merely one of many facets that make an outstanding student. For example, I may not have a perfect 4.0 GPA, but the general increase in my grades over the years does show that I put forth a good effort into trying to succeed in my classes. Furthermore, my…

experiment is, “Does color affect test scores?”. How I am going to do this experiment is I will first collect supplies and participants for the experiment. Then, I will make the tests on white, red, and yellow paper. Next, I will have the participants take the tests separately in a room on each of the colored tests. Finally, I will collect the tests and find the averages of the scores and compare it to the other colors of paper. My hypothesis is, “If a person takes a test on the red or yellow…

I am more than my Act score. That score, which is a form of standardizes test, offers only a small snapshot of my skills. The VARK, Multiple intelligence assessments, Myers Briggs personality profile actually provide more info. In some respects, my scores match other students, but still, I have a unique personality. What is intelligence? Since the early days of humanity, man has tried to define intelligence; from the time of Plato and Socrates to the 21st century people are still trying to…

My first college assignment was to take a personality test online and write a paper about it. Even though I may not agree with the results, I will write about the information revealed. The Big Five Personality test scores these five areas of your personality: Openness to experience, conscientious, extraverted, agreeableness, and neuroticism The results of my test show I am low in openness to experience at 48%. With this being the result, it means that I should be practical,…

Niederle’s and Vesterlund’s article “Explaining the Gender Gap in Math Test Scores: The Role of Competition”, the authors try to find the correlation between the differences in male and female math test scores (Niederle, Vesterlund, 129.) They chose to research math test scores instead of another subject because math scores are closely linked to pay. On the surface, it appears that there actually is no gap in scores because the mean on tests like the SAT and the AP is…
