Forums - General - w00t SAT scores

I got my SAT scores a few days ago and I did much better than I thought I had did. xD

 

Math - 780
Reading - 660

Writing - 540 (9 on the Essay)

 

I did really terrible in writing (65 percentile D:) but I did kickass in reading (91 percentile) and math (99 percentile)!

 

And, wow, I got one question wrong on the Math section, which was an easy question. I got all the medium and hard ones right. D:

Nice work, especially on the Math! Writing kind of owned you though, at least the MC.

Writing owned me on the PSAT sophmore year (540), but by the time junior year rolled around I aced it (760). Its something you can totally study for. I am just glad there weren't any essays on the PSAT.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

Great job, congratz. Hopefully your first professor will be a dick who challenges you to think... (that's a well-wish, just in case there was any confusion)

 

P.S. There's a writing section now?



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Excellent Work. Congrats.



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

 

 

I just took the SAT yesterday, so we'll see how I do. I'm also waiting for my ACT results. I do well in school though, so I'm hoping I got high scores. Congrats on getting in the 99th percentile in math, that's amazing!

It's the bigger of two standardized tests that colleges use for undergraduate application and admission (mostly Bachelor's degrees at 4 year Universities).  The scores are also used for Scholarships (private and government) because college tuition is different here.

Good job. I got a 640 reading, 640 Writing and 670 Math.

Im old. I was on the old school scale.

Regardless, keep in mind those percentiles are from those who actually took the SATs... which would be college-bound students. Not everyone. Although I think I've heard they are mandatory nowadays? Is this true?

I was the last school year that had the old SAT. I had the option to take either one. I said fuck the writing! Ironically, the writing was my best section on the PSAT. But there was no essay on the PSAT. Not that I am bad at essays (I was an English major after all), I just hate them on standardized tests.

I got 5's on both my AP English tests (which are predominantly writing), yet I almost failed the standardized writing test implemented here in Texas after No Child Left Behind. Not surprisingly, I got every question write on the multiple choice but for whatever reason they gave me 1 out of 3 on all my short answers and 2 out of 4 on my essay. That just doesn't make sense if I was able to get 5's on both AP tests, as those tests are way harder!

Just goes to show you that even what they are looking for in government mandated standardized tests is just BS stick to a formula kind of writing, not actual good writing.

Though I do admit I trust the Collegeboard (does the AP tests and SAT tests) a million times more than the Texas Legislature.
