(PSN)JaysInc_ Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Why, just why for the life of me can I not get a score equivalent or greater than a 1200, it's not like math for me is hard, hell it has been my best subject throughout my whole school career, including science. But these tests...they just tell me something completely different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because standardized tests don't actually show intelligence in some cases standardize tests just test how good of a tester you are. It doesn't test intelligenc just the elements that make you a good test taker. Such as mental readiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that somewhat makes sense, cause every time I take these tests my mind is literally everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a common problem just take more standardized tests to practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can relate to that to, had teachers that were brought in from different countries that had no idea what they were doing (or had any idea in who they were dealing with), which sorta set me back.

Guest Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Well i remember getting 12xx without spending a sec studying, and that was the second year I landed on America. That test however I would admit if i study I might actually get way higher because most of the times I knew what to do but I forgot the steps. These test in my opinion is not testing how good you are with the "hard knowledge" but the "soft knowledge..." meaning they are testing how well you are at using the knowledge you learned in the classroom to apply it into a different situation. How well can you think outside the box is what im saying. How flexible your brain is...is what they are testing...I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
