ACT

The national average for any student is 500 per section (reading, math, and writing). The average for pre-med students varies, just as the average for many colleges is significantly higher than the national average. At less competitive colleges or universities pre-med students average 500 per section on the SAT (1500 total for R+M+W). At highly competitive schools SAT averages are 650+ per section (2000+ total).

If you are happy with them, then yes, go ahead.

You will face some challenges. Unless you have something else to commend you in spite of those numbers, you won't be able to get into a very selective university, most likely. You can repeat the SAT to try to improve your score. If you can get into a decent school, even most state universities, and show some solid performance in a strong undergraduate science program, then you should have a reasonable chance with the med schools, although maybe not the more prestigious ones. You may even have to prove yourself in a lower tier junior college for a couple of years before transferring to another school to finish your BS. By the way, ObGyn's and dentists ARE doctors. The word we usually mean when we say "doctor" is "physician", which would include ObGyn as a specialty. [Spelvin adds] As the previous post notes, your record after high school and after the low SAT scores can override poor early performance. In addition, medical schools will look closely at your score on The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Medical colleges consider MCAT scores to be an important part of their admission process, and almost all U.S. medical schools require applicants to submit those scores. The MCAT is a standardized, multiple-choice examination designed to assess problem solving, critical thinking, writing skills, and knowledge of science concepts and principles necessary for the study of medicine. Scores are reported for verbal reasoning, physical sciences, writing sample, and biological sciences. From that list, you can see where your academic effort ought to be applied. Med schools will consider, too, community service; a personal essay that may be part of the application for admission; and your presentation-of-self in a pre-admission interview. If your undergraduate record and all of the other factors are favorable -- a very important "if" -- and if your MCAT scores are high, you can gain admission to a select med school, despite poor academic performance in high school.

The ACT was first administered in the year 1959. It was made as a competitor to the SAT by Everett Franklin Lindquist.

If you have a science test and you need to study for it I will tell you what I do.

1.Get all of your info ready

2.Get some index cards or you can cut little rectangular pieces

3.write your question on one side and the answer on the other side.

4.Then have someone read the question to you and then you answer it...it is a really easy way to learn........give it some time though.

The last test for the 2009-2010 school year is June 12. The late test you can personally take depends on when you need to summit the scores to the school you intend to go to. You should talk to your high school guidance counselor or the admissions department at the schools you are applying to in order to know exactly how long you can put off taking the test.

36 (writing is not part of your composite score)

The next ACT test date is June 12, 2010. The registration deadline is May 7, 2010.

Brianna would need to score 85

In a standard ACT test, the maximum points you can get for each category is 36, and the maximum points for your total overall score (the composite score) is also 36.

The SAT only tests up to Algebra II. The student has learned all of the content after that class. The time to take your first SAT is the Fall of your junior year. It is the golden rule to take the SAT no more than 3 times and starting in the fall of your junior will allow plenty of time for retakes. You should start preparing for the class by taking a Princeton Review course during the summer between sophmore and junior year. You need about 35 hours of classroom time and plenty of self prep hours. In the beginning of your junior year is when you should start studying if plan to take the exam in March of your junior year.

The scores range from 200-800 in each section. 200 is the lowest and 800 is the highest. The three sections are Math, Writing, and Critical Reading. The lowest total score you can make is therefore a 600, with 200 in each part, and the highest is a 2400, with 800 in each part. Good luck!

You can pretty much get a scholarship no matter what ACT test score you have. It is just a matter of searching for the right ones. Try typing doing a search for " College Scholarships you won't believe how many there are out here!

Getting into an ivy league university is more difficult than it was when I applied in the early '80's. I think that now they're looking for depth in one or two extracurricular activities rather than the 'well-rounded' that was more in vogue earlier. I would say that writing a book, especially if you could get it published, would be extremely helpful. Poems not so much, probably. Unless, again, published. If you've been doing something for two years make sure you keep doing it, take as many AP classes as possible, and make sure your essays are kick-ass. Do something unusual and stick with it if you can (hence the approval for book-writing). Make sure your standardized test scores are very very good. Study and/or hire help.

It is certainly possible, and actually quite common, to take both the SAT examination and SAT subject test(s) in the same sitting. If you choose to take that route when registering, after taking the standard SAT, you must touch base with a proctor, who will then take you to your subject test. Common subject tests include Chemistry, Math II, and various foreign languages. Subject tests are typically not required, or can be replaced by the ACT, for college admissions purposes. Their traditional value has come in determining placement into intro college courses.

Certainly. They affect the schools you can get into for your undergrad degree, which has an effect on the admittance into schools. It is a variable, but isn't going to prevent you from doing it.

23

A composite percentile score of 50 or better or verbal percentile score of 60 or better is required for the level exam taken. For students interested in the PN program, the score can be found under the "DI" column. For students enrolled in the ADN program, the score can be found under the "AD" percentile column.

Math is 15, Reading is 18.

It simply means that the average score of the four sections (English, Math, Reading, and Science) was a 23. This score is known as the "composite" score, and is typically the score that most people or colleges are interested in.

That score places you slightly above the national average, which for 2009 was a 21.1. A 23 is a perfectly acceptable score, and will allow you to attend a number of universities if you so choose. However, if you aspire towards a "tier one" university that has more selective standards, you should likely re-test in the hopes of a higher score.
