I also have a cold. I took a test out of an SAT prep book, and it said I got a 1320. 730 Math, 590 Verbal.

 

So, any good luck would be greatly appreciated.

Took it last year (freshman year). It was low in comparison to my ACT scores as an eighth grader.

 

SAT: 1180

Verbal: 570

Math: 610

 

Ooh, just found my ACT sheet:

 

English: 25 81st percentile

?Usage: 14 87%

?Rhet. Skills: 12 74%

 

Math:24 76%

?Pre-Al: 13 76%

?Alg. 12 78%

?Trig: 13 82%

 

Science: 28 95%

 

Reading: 31 93%

?Soc. St/Sci: 17 97%

?Arts/Lit: 15 85%

 

Overall: 27 90%

 

I thought the SAT's were easier, but I only got like 70th percentile for out-going seniors on that. I'm guessing it's cause I only skipped a few problems that I didn't know.

 

Probably more than you ever wanted to know about me.

 

Good luck though!

Cerb...good luck. Get well for it too

Good luck Cerb! And I LOVE the second part of your signature

Never took um once, so I'm of absolutley no use to you, but good luck anyway

Hey teacher leave those kids alone

good luck cerb..... and remember to phrase your answer in the form of a question.... oh wait thats not right.. thats the game show... ummm......oh yeah when in doubt the answer is D. all of the above...........it always worked for me......

If you don't know the answer, just put C, haha.

If you don't know the answer, just put C, haha.

No, teachers have caught on, the answer is now B.

 

I got a 29 on the ACT both times i took it with different scores in different areas each time. If i could have combined them i would have gotten a 32

 

I have a friend that got a 36 on the ACT...TWICE. He had to take it for the prairie state exam also, hence the twice thing.

 

Good luck and remember to pace yourself.

good luck!

Finished it. Was pretty easily except for one verbal test. The rest were quite easy, though. I was kind of amazed to see Distill:Pure :: for the last analogy, freaking easy!

Lousy SAT's, good thing I don't need those anymore

 

I liked the SAT II's much better because I owned those

Being a stat freak of all kinds I'm real impressed with these scores here. Congrats to all. Cerb I'm sure you did fine. I had to take an SAT when I was 34 and an adult trying to make up for a misspent youth.

We didn't have to take the SAT, but I did get a 27 on the ACT.

 

Damned standardized tests only reflecting one part of a person's intelligence. (I am a strong advocate against teaching for one test and allowing one test to have so much of an impact on a person's college availabilities)

You're SAT score is good. I also think you have a point about standardized tests. You have to set standards, but there must be flexibility. Some bright people are not good standardized test takers. Studies have shown that high school grades are a better predictor of college success than SAT and ACT tests. Also females score lower on the SAT ( in the ACT it's almost dead even ) but get better grades in college. A good admissions office will take all factors into consideration. I mostly agree with you on this and like I said 27 is a good score. Perhaps you got 29, 30 or above on one of the four sections? Admissions counselors, at least the good ones are taught to pay attention to a students strong points in the ACT or SAT.

I had my 1210 and that was that. I agree with Apu, they put too much emphasis on it.

I tried it when I was 16 even though I can't afford U.S. college. 1250, think I could do better if I'd studied or tried again, but it was a neat experiance, too bad I drink and piss away my years now. Hope I and everyone else find whatever it is we are looking for.
