no that looks extremely silly. The only exception is if you go to a complete non-target and want to have some numbers that justify you have the "smarts" of an ivy-leaguer.
No, just put SAT and GMAT scores. You're going to waste space with APs and SAT IIs, no one cares about those.
Don't listen to these pussies, they're just embarrassed about not having gotten 5's on all of their AP's.
I'd recommend listing each of your AP and SATII scores, not just the ones from "hard" subjects - a 5 in Art History really shows your strength in breadth.
.
SATs don't indicate IQ; SATs may be correlated to IQ.
You'll quickly realize no one in the working place cares about AP scores or SAT 2 scores...they aren't that popular and no one really remembers their scores on those if they did take any of them cuz there are so many...everyone however took the SAT and remembers roughly what they got, and thats why they can serve as a useful benchmark for intelligence.
Goldman lets you put SAT II scores and AP scores on their online application. So if they care enough to ask, they might think they'd look good on your resume too. Any other opinions on this (I think I might do this now that you mention it)
OP is a troll anyway.
I say do it if your sat/act composite isnt strong or if you have nothing else to put on your resume. I agree it looks silly to kids our age but a recruiter/interviewer prob wont care. If your composite is high though that should justify things enough, especially if your above 1500/1600, 2250/2400, or 34/36

hm, if I go to UMich ( which is apparently semi-target or non-target depending on who you ask...), should I put down my SAT/ACT score?
I put a 4/5 on one of my ap tests on my resume. The recruiter threw my resume in my face and told me to kill myself. True story.
Look, a SAT score is okay because everyone takes it and so its used as a numerial way to distinguish people after GPA.
But if someone who's a college senior sent me a resume with 3 lines listing various HS test scores I would think here's an unaccomplished person who's trying to brag about something trivial. The only HS accomplishments worth listing at that age (that I can think of) are (1) perfect SAT I Score (not for its impressiveness but because its used often) (2) Major Math/Science National Olympiads (3) High School Valedictorian (but then you have to list the high school name- which unless its well known, is honestly a little tacky too)
Also, it depends on what you're applying to. If you're at a top school (btw, yes UMich is a top school) and applying for the most "prestigious jobs" than almost everyone has SOME SATII/APs where they got top scores at. And they will of course self-select.
That said, if you aren't applying for FT and are say, ending sophomore year, than it might be a little less silly.
what about National Merit Finalist / Scholar, National AP Scholar, Intel / Westinghouse awards, Presidential Scholar for SATs, etc.
i always had national merit scholar on my resume, but then again, i went to a non-target, and was happy to have something that might give me credence as a 'legitimate' candidate. if i were graduating from harvard, and had other good things to put on my resume, i don't know if it would be worth the space. also, i think national merit is uniquely well-known among the things you mentioned - i'd think many professionals aren't familiar with 'ap scholars' and other such things.
Hey I have a similar question and was interested in some additional viewpoints...
I go to a non-target state school and got a 2130 (720 V, 720 M, 690 W) which is decent but not ivy level. I did however get an 800 on both the Math 2 and Chemistry SAT II tests. If I put my SAT scores on my resume (which Brian from M&I recommends unless they are bad) would it be okay to put my SAT II scores on the same line? I know interviewers won't care as much about the SAT II scores but they are something I'm fairly proud of and I feel like they elevate my SAT score.
so longa s everything's above 720 or so and isn't in a subject like World History, but it on there. Hard math sciences w/ 5 put on there (no 4s!).
Could look something like this:
SAT m-780 v-770 SAT II m2-800 w-800 AP Calc-5, Bio-5, Chem-5
That would be very impressive and worth putting down.... what else do you have put test scores and GPAs and maybe an internship at that stage in your career?
Only if you're a nontarget. Several recruiters told me to put test scores to subtly show I could've gone to a bettter school. If you go to an ivy, don't bother.
