Question

Think about the many statistical scores or rankings you receive in school, such as GPA, SAT and ACT scores, test scores, and class ranking. Describe the usefulness and limitations of these pieces of data in defining who you are as a person or as a student. In what ways do they help give a clear picture? What are they not conveying?

Answer 1

The usefulness is that this data allows you to understand how well students perform with their instruction, based on a standardized test. The limitation is that the scores don't account for different situations that may affect the results you receive.
