SAT and ACT Scores Could Mean Better Job Prospects After College
As if the anxiety of scoring well enough on the SAT or ACT exams to get into your college of choice wasn't enough to send most students spinning, this recent article from the Wall Street Journal reveals that these college placement exams may do a lot more than that! The article cites several companies, from the consulting industry to the software industry, who only hire candidates with a minimum score or percentile rank on the SAT or ACT, or those who are able to furnish copies of their scores showing high marks in specific subjects like math. And no, we're not kidding! The article even notes a trend of college graduates listing their scores voluntarily on social networking sites like Linked In.
It's hard to believe that a test you take during your junior or senior year of high school, before you even enter the realm of adulthood, would have such far reaching impact on your adult career. But it's all the more reason to ensure that your son or daughter is well prepared for these important exams.
