Exactly. My high school best friend was in National Honor Society (I think her overall was something like 3.8, and this was before the days of grade inflation, and she was in the college prep course) but I don't think she even broke 900 combined on her SATs. She wasn't stupid, obviously - just a really bad and really nervous standardized test taker.
