SO if a 30 is good on the ACT where does it become not so good 25, 28? And what about the SAT is 2100 good and below 1800 not so good?
I hope that makes sense.

I realize it depends on the school, but I thinking about places where everyone has 3.8 or above GPA. Would you use test scores to help decide who gets the grades brownie points?

Welcome back, DoubleRose,
The Alpha Gam RIF doesn't include space for ACT or SAT. That doesn't mean that the PNM cant include the information on a resume, if the school recommends one.
Hindsight: My High School GPA was good, my test scores were ok, but my college grades were great. So, I can't agree with those who say that test scores are a good prediction. Point blank....I am a bad test taker. But I'll blow someone away on an project or a paper.
