Care to share your SAT scores?
Don't be shy or humble. We all know AI is a forum where there are countless numbers of brilliant people. Let's prove it.
BR notes in the other thread a 1470; 780 math and 690 verbal. Who beats it? Sounds like Eugene did pretty well, but didn't give the specifics.
I didn't do quite as well as BR, but it was still fine:
The first time I got 800 math/490 verbal (what a dunce)
By my senior year I had improved my verbal to 590 (acceptable) but I missed one on the math and got a 780. So my best two scores together make 1390.

<strong>1420 SAT, 33 ACT, 184 LSAT</strong><hr></blockquote>
interesting, seeing as how the lsat scale is 120-180. you must be REALLY good!
I make no excuses. This is what I scored. I'll be damned if some rich kid in California says I'm not smart.
28 first try on ACT, 31 second try
Thanks for caring though
<strong>progmac, it is now... 22 years ago when I took it, it was out of 185. The scale has been adjusted when experimental sections of the test became standard procedure. There are less questions in each section now but more questions overall. You're not scored on all of them, and the overall scale has been lowered. In 1980, when I took the LSAT, I scored a 184.

EXTREMELY pissed that i didnt get an 800 in math, 1490 is a big step below a 1500...
in 7th grade i took it and got a 1040 (610 430) for some Johns Hopkins program thing....
Personally I think it is bullshit and the college board is worse then M$ when it comes to monopolies...
<strong>The Johns Hopkins Talent Search thing...</strong><hr></blockquote>
yeah went to CTY or something
<strong>1300. The SAT is a joke, and a complete waste of time. It's funny because I had lots of people telling me that 1300 sucks and guess what, I got into a good school and they still are receiving rejection letters, so fvck them.</strong><hr></blockquote>
1300 is nothing of which to be ashamed. The SAT is not a total joke nor is it a complete waste of time. However, it also should by no means be the only indicator of how well someone will do in college.
<strong>By the way, 800 math is not that uncommon (but it sure feels good). But 800 verbal is just incredible. In high school I knew of one person who made such an achievement.
</strong><hr></blockquote> yes I know, this is what made me mad about it. Still, 1490 to 1500 is a big jump
<strong> [quote]She was born in Singapore, English was her second language, and she scored 800 as a Junior! Incredible!</strong><hr></blockquote>
yes, a friend of mine got a 1600 (she is currently attending Harvard) she only took the test once (in junior year) same as me (not counting 7th grade)....
she is first generation POLISH and i believe she is fluent. She may have learned eng as her second language also.
800 in english is VERY hard
I was REALLY surprised at my 700, i got 550s in practice...

Actually what's funny is that it seemed as if class rank was more important than test scores, which is dumb because some people come from schools where no one gives a rat's ass and you are in the 95th percentile if you get a 3.3 or something. But in my school, I had a 3.7 or so, and yet I was 84th percentile.
Whatever. My high school grades seemed surprisingly unimportant once I was accepted into college.
I took the SATs twice in high school. 710v/760m the first time, 700v/800m the second time. I took the SATs in th grade as some summer school prereq and got a something like a 490v/650m the score was in the 1100s...I can't quite remember the breakdown.
I took a bajillion SAT IIs (a couple when they were still called Achievement Tests)

I had friends doing the pre-SAT courses and reading the books and taking practice tests. I also had a friend show up drunk off her ass and get 14ish.
If there's something I hate more than grades it is standardized test scores. My mother bought me an SAT preparation book, Kaplan or somesuch, and it's still in the plastic wrapping in the coffee table drawer in my room back home (I may fish it out if someone wants it).
"Blah blah blah let me out of this room"
I've always been a terrible student. They always told me "Adam, you'll have to learn good study habits or you'll never do well in high school or college." Well, Mrs. Bailey I'm 2 semesters from graduating and I still do very little non-required schoolwork. Take that, you 'ole bag!
Fie on grades and scores!
800 math/700 verbal first time
740 math/800 verbal second time
so when applying for college, some schools counted this as 1600... yay
I say 4:1
