Should I put my SAT score of 2110 on my resume for internships?
I don't know if it's high enough for me to put it on. As people applying to this will be very strong candidates, I feel like I would be on the lower end. The breakdown is Reading 650, Writing 660, Math 800 but I'm just going to put Math 800 in brackets. I have 800 in SAT Math II too. Should I only put the SAT II score?
I have low GPA so I'm omitting it on my resume.
Thanks
Do the exact opposite. Keep GPA on, and if you want have the SAT scores on as well. I got 2220, but I still don't think its over average on WSO.
I think it depends where you are applying. If you want a quant/trading position, then the 800s in the SAT I and II will look pretty nice. However I'm not so sure about IB recruiting cuz they're not looking for math league types
And if you leave out your GPA and put in SAT scores, they will notice the intentional omission and may actually ask during interviews. Just be prepared to answer, and you should be fine
I would put it on, math is thought of really fondly in the world of business.
while your score is remarkable and higher than average even for ibd, it is not necessary and provides one more factor for you to be judged on. it's really up to you but I don't see any shame in having achieved that score or marketing it.
I put my score (1490) on my resume because I went to a semi-target and thought it might alleviate any high IQ concerns. Don't see any reason not to put it if its good and some employers ask anyways.
Getting a good score on the SATs has nothing to do with IQ. Its just a matter of who's parents can afford to buy them all the books and send them to the SAT prep courses. Getting a high SAT means nothing when it comes to IQ, it just shows that you can memorize a formula or question type and spit back on answer.
lol
I throw on my ACT (~2250 SAT equivalent) and SAT II Math scores (800 also). It can't hurt and your scores, while not absolutely stellar, are fine (although if you are super anal you could retake). I would just put your score and then after it list your SAT II math score, that's what I did (no need to break it down by section)
Carlfox (that is a great point). But OP, I would put it on. Even as I'm graduating, some stupid employers insist on SAT or ACT scores being in my resume. And personally having taken the SAT only once, I think anything over 2000 is pretty damn good.
yeah I threw in my SAT I (2310) and SAT II( math and others in which i got 750-800) and I do think it made a difference on first impression. They just looked at my resume and said I am smart without even questioning anything.
Stupidest thing I ever read. SAT is a logic test, not a memorization test. Your GPA in college is more indicative of your rote memorization skills than the SAT.
I never took a single class or even prepared at all and I scored extremely well.
you so smart mate. what's your iq?
The SAT is most definitely not a logic test. I took it once, did okay, then studied the book and took it again, scored 250 points higher. I think that's definitely significant. I think it depends heavily on the quality of your high school classes, combined with your talent.
That's fair mate. But there were also guys like me that bought the college board's book of 14 tests, grinded through all of them, and got a good score. Any standardized test that's been in place for years and years can be beat via grinding it out.
Bet you nailed the SAT but felt guilty cause your parents bought you all the prep books. That's definitely it. Not that you didn't do well on the test.
lol. obviously, this is one way to do well on it; no test is unbeatable if you grind it out. the other way is to actually be smart. is someone salty they had to do it the first way?
