Jefferson has a space for the SAT and ACT scores. I can't remember my score. Why would they care what my score was anyway?

you can try calling the ACT ppl....i still have all my stuff saved from the SAT days for events just as this
you can also call Jefferson and ask if it's important or if it can be skipped since it is a bit dumb to expect someone to remember that

They ask for it because they want to know how you generally fare on standardized testing.

maybe they want to see how consistent you are from high school to college w/ respect to standardized tests. who knows.
are you filling it out on paper?
we don't have access to the online one yet, right?

WashU asks the same question too. Luckily I saw it and thought about saving it when I was cleaning out my room this summer before I left.
If the ACT people aren't friendly about it, you can always try your high school (WashU also wants HS class rank and GPA, just a heads up) because they should have it on file. Your undergrad should have it too.

Well your options are either leave it blank or lie. I'd go with the former...MedStudentWanna said:

That sucks I did horrible on the SAT so I never send them. I did alrite on the ACT since the science part was easy and I got a pretty high secetion on that. Check the ACT site and when did you graduate high school.

I'm pretty sure it was a 27. Or a 26. I can't remember. And I think either way it really doesn't matter that much.
Do you know if they take best composite sections or one-sittings?
It'd make my SAT look a lot different if I could write down my best composite.

Man how can people not remember their ACT and SAT scores. Its seems like everyone labeled u with a score much like your MCAT score.
60 years from now when I have Alzheimers, I'll have no idea what is going on but when someone asks me my MCAT score way back when well...
Hate it or luv it, it's ahrd to forget

People have a selective memory.
For example, I already forgot my GPA from highschool because it sucked but I chose to remember my SAT.

It was never really a question where I was going to go for my undergrad. I applied to two schools and went to the university 2 miles from my house. My ACT didn't really matter...

pretty easy to forget for me. i remember my SAT, but not my ACT. WashU wanted it when i applied last year, and I had to look it up. I didn't think there'd be any reason to remember it...it seems kinda pointless to talk about a test that was taken when you were 16 when you're applying for medical school...
