I'm torn betwixt the SAT and ACT . The intricate structure of the SAT leaves me mystified and curious to delve deeper. In stark contrast , the ACT explores the inexplicable world of scientific questionnaire , every inch of the paper enthralling me . I conclude, deduce and culminate : it doesn't matter.

Like you, I will take multivariable calculus, ordinary differential equations and linear algebra, but i will have all of them finished by end of junior year (with all A’s, 1550 sat, and AIME quals) Do you think these classes will help a lot in my college apps? Did they help for you?

[@maxgeorge1463]

@@ryanrodrigue9653 stop asking ridiculously self-centered questions. Be realistic with yourself; the further you go in any line of subject matter directly correlates to your proficiency and maturity. It is completely impossible for that to negatively impact in any way. No body likes people that boast their intelligence, and it is usually the most insecure, unintelligent individuals that feel the incentive to do so.

Hey Pratik, this was a super helpful video. It kinda felt like it summarized and emphasized the most important aspects of a college application to focus on with these real world example apps. During the video I mentally kept referring various tips you mentioned back to the topic specific videos you made on this channel. Currently a rising sophomore in high school, so I still have time to apply the treasure trove of tips and tricks that you offer. Thanks for everything P!

If by "test blind" you mean that they don't look at SAT/ACT tests, most schools aren't that way. But if the tests you are talking about are the ones that influence the grades you have in your classes, then yes, they don't look at those. But they will look at your class grades/gpa.
