I have to take the SAT tommorow.

[gWIL]

What a great weekend, I get to wake up bright and early and retake the SAT.

 

My old scores:

Critical Reading (Same as Verbal) 740

Math 530

Writing 550

So out of 1600: 1270

Out of 2400: 1820

My ACT score: 26

 

So yeah, I know must everyone here is older than me, so any test horror stories, scores or what not?

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski]

Did you take prep classes? What's your goal?

 

I got a 1070 my first time and a 1150 my second time. I don't really have any horror stories but I am glad I don't have to take them again.

I never took the SAT...or the ACT. Oh well, I'm sure you'll be fine. The force is strong in you gWil.

[bob_barron]

Only took them once, had to take an awful Princeton Review course

[Vampiro69]

I only had to take the ACT in high school. I wish I would have actually studied, because I know I could have done a hell of a lot better.

[chuck415]

I got drunk as hell the night before my ACT and still pulled a 24.

[daileyxplanet]

Never took them 'cause I go to Community College.

[Edwin MacPhisto]

They were pretty easy, I think. Standardized tests always are. Strangely, I remember what I got on my SATs, but can't remember what I got on my GREs.

[randomguy]

I got a 1520 on my SATs, and that was before they made the scoring easier. Missed 1 on math and 1 on verbal. I've always been great at standardized tests.

[Edwin MacPhisto]

You missed more than that if you got a 1520. You can, or at least could, miss one or two and still get a 1600 depending on where they were. Always though that was kinda funny.

SAT-1230

 

ACT-27

 

Good enough to not take again.

[gWIL]

I tried the whole new-age ting of getting a full night of sleep in and having breakfast thing, it seemed to have worked. I think I did better on Math and Writing, but I think my Verbal score went down (which I expected). I'm hoping to pull above 600 for Writing and Math.

 

Oh and to answer the question if I took any prep classes, I didn't. I can't remember ever studying for a test.

[Brett Favre]

All you have to do is read books, and take it twice, and your second score should be pretty good.

Didn't take the SAT, just the ACT, got a 26 when i was in 10th grade and then a 31 my junior year....that was good enough for me

[Annabelle]

i always thought sats were figments of cinema's imagination. we don't take those here. just have to have good grades to get into university.

[vivalaultra]

I like how all those teenage sex comedy movies make it look like it's REALLY, REALLY hard to get into college and do well. I remember when I was like 14 I thought that getting into college was some major accomplishment and I'd have to sit around for weeks waiting for acceptance letters and stuff...That never happened...not at Community College or at the real university I'm going to now. All I had to do was send in my transcripts and pay tuition. After getting in, I was left feeling empty. And I've never had a professor get up in front of the room on the first day and say something like, "Look to the left of you; now look too the right of you. At least one of those people will not pass this class." As I got older, I was disappointed to learn that most movies tell you nothing about actual life.

You missed more than that if you got a 1520. You can, or at least could, miss one or two and still get a 1600 depending on where they were. Always though that was kinda funny.

 

Let's try this again:
