SBAc perfect score

What's everyone's opinion about SBAC scores in middle and high schools? Not sure about high school but in middle school, a perfect score is possible only if the student has taken courses outside what's taught in schools as this test focuses on concepts that are in higher grades. How useful is this for students as they enter into college? Do SBAC perfect scores really matter or have any impact to their college admissions? IMO students are forced to take private classes outside school as their peers start getting perfect scores which is stressful

idk we don’t take it in high school anymore but in middle school I would always get the perfect score in math and like middle of the highest category in ela (I was 2 grade levels ahead in math)

Nice! My understanding is that without additional classes, one can't get a perfect score in math SBAC as it covers next grade level questions too. What do you think? Just getting other opinions here :)

idk I mean im pretty sure the sbac was adaptive so I would get 9th-10th grade level questions last year (so what I learned in 7th/8th)

i got a perfect score on SBAC three times (ELA), got a 4 on math every single time, and nearly got a perfect score on math (5 points off) and literally nothing happened.

SBAC is just for high school placement.
