Will the Act’s and SAT’s be hard for me if I have a 4.1 GPA?

I’m in all regular level classes, except for french and i get straight A’s, but i dont feel like im that smart. I just do my best and put all that i’ve got in to my work. Will they be hard for me?

The ACT and SAT are supposed to gauge your aptitude and is a culmination of the high school curriculum. The test content may not be difficult, but the process for taking the test may be a little different.

Some students find that taking prep courses for the exams helped them to succeed because it familiarized them with the FORMAt of the test and made it easier for them to navigate through it. While some places promise to increase your score by hundreds of points, the theory and science of that is that it teaches you test methodology and how to move around and not get stuck on an aswer.

If you decide not to go that route, there are several practice tests that you can take online. One great site for that is http://www.testprepreview.com/sat_practice.htm.

You can also get practice test booklets and guides at your local bookstore.

Good luck!

4.1?! That is a superb GPA. If you work hard and put the best into everything, you sound like you’re off to a good start and will do fine on the SAT and ACT exams.

Maybe–maybe not. Your GPA is not a really good predictor of your scores. In my magnet school (well, granted, we were some of the smartest student in my county, but still), some of the kids who had the lowest grades and GPAs ended up earning really high scores. All of the kids with the very best grades did well, but still, some of the students with lower grades beat them. So you may find it hard, you may find it easy. Just to be prepared, make sure you buy some prep books for the tests and actually use them to prepare for the tests.

still confused.. how does one get a 4.1? I carry a 4.0 GPA did i miss some extra credit? but … anyways.. act and sat arent hard if you study.. get a study guide! take the time before the test to study hard .. more ya study the less stressed youll be during the test and more likely you wont space out and go blank!

no because your school might not be up to standards. also i dont understand how you could get a 4.1 gpa if youre in all regular level classes. does your school go by 5.0 gpa scale?? because if youre in regular classes then you dont have weighted classes so you cant have over a 4.0.

typical. just study..

it just depends on what you’ve taken.

Make sure you’ve at least had Trig in some form, precalculus helps too.

In the science department, be ready for biology or chemistry.

I took it twice, one time it was like all biology, the next time all chemistry.

Not too hard either way. But if you haven’t had chemistry in a couple years…it sucks pretty bad. Most of the stuff is just common sense though.

Don’t rush too much on the Reading section(I did that my first time, in 7th grade).

English is pretty easy too.

4.1, nice. We don’t have weighted where I live.=/

And I had like a 92 in Spanish……with our nazi teacher.

GPA means nothing. So please don’t go parading around with your GPA and expect to be a genius. I know a kid who got an SAT of about 2000 with a 4.15 and I got an SAT score one hundred points higher with a 3.9 gpa at a different school. Take practice tests and study regardless of how smart you think you already are.

You’ll do fine.

But I’d like to know how you managed a 4.1 with regular level classes. You have to be in honors or AP to exceed a 4.0

They aren’t that hard, but a lot will depend on what classes you’ve taken, and how good you are when it comes to testing. I hadn’t taken Trig when I took the ACT, and my math scores were horrible. Also, I’m not all that great at standardized tests, but I still did okay. You should be fine.

I highly doubt that it’ll be too hard for you with that GPA
