Can students overcome a weak SAT or ACT test score?
Possibly. There is agreement that standardized tests will continue to be used by most colleges but consideration is generally given to all aspects of the students application. Although some colleges put added weight on SAT and ACT scores, additional criteria is used by most colleges. These include: GPA, rigor of curriculum, class rank, essays, and recommendations. For example, well composed answers and a good essay may offset a mediocre verbal test score.
