Default My SAT scores =O

SAT Reasoning Test Percentile
Critical Reading 530 58%
Math 560 63%
Writing 630 87%
Multiple Choice 56 (score range: 20-80)
Essay 11 (score range: 2-12)



I know nobody cares, and a 1720 isn't THAT amazing, but it's a decent score for taking it my first time EVER...and getting an 11/12 on the essay is a great accomplishment...I'm not gonna get into harvard or anything, but it's a start.

I did awful on my PSAT's as well, but that's because I stupidly forgot to bring my calculator and they did not provide one for us. So my math section, i left a lot of them unanswered because i didn't have the time to get to them, since i had to work everything out by hand which took up all my time.

I get my ACT scores soon, in another couple weeks i'm sure. I think I did really well...my girlfriend, who's really smart, got a 1740 on her SAT, 20 points better than me, but she got a 22 on her last ACT, meaning i'm sure i can get a 25 at the lowest.

I got 2290 on my first attempt. I wanted to beat my friend without doing much study, but she got a 2390 first try, and went to Harvard.

Way to make you feel ****ty eh. XD


For the record 1720 is like, the 73rd-74th percentile, meaning you outscored that much of the population, which in itself is something to be proud of. Most people that retake the SAT do better as well, so good luck.

They added an essay portion and removed the Analogies sections...

And thx reach

2290 is damn impressive. Being ranked 6 in my senior class with a GPA of 97.8, my girlfriend got a 1740, and me, being ranked like 130 in the class with a GPA of 89.2, i got a 1720. What does that tell you?


I'm lazy as hell and i don't care about school.

o.o
I've never heard of GPAs that high before; I guess that's a 3.9 something on the 4.0 scale?

I got a 1370/1600, 1940/2400 when I took the SAT. I only took it once and didn't really care about it that much because schools around here focus more on the ACT than the SAT.

32 on the ACT. Took it twice and got 32 both times.. I probably could've gotten a 34, though. First time I took it, I got 34s in English and Reading, but like 28-30 in Math and Science. Second time was the direct opposite =(

Also, I just got deferred admission from the University of Michigan.

Affirmative action ftw! Sometimes I wish I was black =(

SAT's are a true test of how you will do in college, not GPA. I'm a junior electrical engineering major at the University of Maryland and I only had a 3.5 in high school. High school is just how long you can study, memorize, and spit back information. You actually have to use your brain for the SAT's and it proves test taking skills, which is 80% of the grade in any college class.

I guess he means % average...which is retardedly high. I guess anyone can get high grades if they study enough. It's not that hard. My % average was only about 93.

The difference being in university your GPA is nearly all test scores (Midterm+Exam is usually weighted at atleast 75% of your mark). Hence SAT scores predict college grades because it's sort of a measure of how well you sit tests.

Anyone can learn to write good tests though. I was sort of mediocre in grade 9/ grade 10, but got my act together for the SAT and got the highest provincial score on the grade 12 chemistry exam (99%). Anyone can do it, really, assuming your IQ isn't far below normal XD

Well I am talking percentage. Our class valedictorian has a GPA of 104.3, which is only possible due to her numerous amount of Advanced Placement (AP) classes she took all 4 years, which always add a bonus 8 points to your GPA at the end of each semester.

High school really is about memorizing, but over the course of memorizing a majority of the information sticks with you long enough for you to know it and understand it. That's how we learn: repetition and being drilled day by day the same routines of notes, assignments, quizzes, tests.

My SAT score was really a surprise, since I didn't actually "prepare" myself or anything for it, i just woke up, went in, took it, finished it, ate lunch. I guess i have good test taking skills, which i've always had all my life.

I got a 1300 without taking a single prep class or opening a prep book.

If I actually took a course, I could have probably scored 1400+ on it... talking about the 1600 scale, of course, because colleges don't look at the essay scores yet

Got a 1410 without any classes. There's something called a "regression to the mean" where if you score well on your first try (1300) you'll do worse on your following tries, not better. It's weird how it works but it's true.
