![]() ![]() ![]() Our school also participated in the PSAT which is an SAT that you take in your sophomore year in high school. I don't know if it helped me or not but if there’s not too much difference between two scores, I say just go ahead and submit both of them. ![]() I could have just submitted my ACT, but the reason I submitted both even though my SAT was worse was that I just want to show colleges that I did take the time to improve my SAT score. 33 was 25th percentile so around 34 is a good enough score where you don't have to worry about those two extra points. If you go on the Rice website and look at the admission stats for my class, you can see that for ACT I scored a 35 which already puts me in the 75th percentile of the class. I'll say this again: you really shouldn't stress out about your test scores too much. I got lucky because 35 is a pretty good score. My school offered it for free so I decided to take it. I got a composite score of 35 for my English, Math, Reading, and Science scores. You shouldn't really stress too much about getting that extra couple points to reach the perfect score. I think once you reach a certain threshold, it doesn't really matter for colleges. The only one that's not is the overall score. I went from 1440 to 1530 and I scored in the 99th percentile of almost everything. It's probably around 1500 overall and you'll be fine.Īfter this test, I did take SAT prep class for a couple of months and you can see that I significantly improved. If you're aiming for the top-level colleges, you should have 99th percentile in almost everything for standardized tests. I bombed the writing portion and my only 99th percentile was from my Math section. I did and, as you can see, I did not score well: 1440 out of 1600. I did no preparations at all and just decided to take it. I was not naturally blessed on my first time taking the SAT. The way the tests are made are similar, so if you study for one then you could do pretty well on the other. I originally just thought of taking the SAT but I decided to take the ACT as well because my school offered it for free. I'll be talking about my stats in this video: my GPA, my test scores on my SAT and ACT, as well as all the high school classes. I will talk about my application, my personal essay, the stats I had when I applied at Rice. There's a lot to talk about so what I've decided to do is to split this video into three parts where I'll be talking about everything. Recently, I've been getting some questions on how I got into Rice and the things you could do to increase your chances of doing the same. ![]()
