SBAC scores and college admissions?

Hi, does anyone know if colleges look at SBAC scores when reviewing applications? Should I worry about them as part of the admissions process?

2 years ago

Hi! Colleges generally do not look at SBAC scores when evaluating applicants for admission. Admissions committees typically focus on standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT, your high school transcript with GPA and course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation.

That being said, it's always essential to perform well academically, as it can reflect your potential for success in college. Try to put your best foot forward in all of your classes, even if the end-of-course assessments like SBAC scores might not carry as much weight in the college admissions process. Still, doing well on such assessments could help boost your overall academic profile and confidence.

In summary, don't stress too much about SBAC scores when it comes to college applications, but continue focusing on maintaining a strong academic performance overall. Good luck!
