It's because a good majority of these schools have thousands of applicants who might as well be perfect across the board grade and test scores wise, so its either they flip a coin, or choose some other standard.
The tests need to be harder, but people would complain.
I didn't study for the ACT at all (literally went in without knowing anything about it) and got a 35. It's a trivial exam.
What a douchey thing to say. You know the average score is like 20 right? Its definitely not trivial
The average for the SAT is 1050 https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/scores/what-scores-mean/wh...
I got a 1040 on the SAT in the 5th grade. The average score is useless for gauging how hard these exams are.
Bragging how you got a 34 on the ACT or 1450+ on the SAT for an elite college is like bragging about clubbing a seal
What you're saying doesn't make any sense, do you just enjoy bragging? Hardness of a task only makes sense in the context of who is doing the task. The fact that you scored highly means it was not a hard test for you compared to the average test taker. I could not determine this without the average score.
