Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread I adamantly believe that the SAT is an outlier. I has to take it at 7am on a Saturday at a school that wasn't mine, that I had never been to in my life. Having taken the SAT as well as the PSAT, I think high school courses tell a better story than one test day. Some people don't do random tests well. I could not pass the UWP exam both times but the course itself I learned a lot and I think I got an A or B.
I transferred to Davis and I personally think lower division college courses, even at a CCC, are a much better indicator of success.
