What do you mean?

Woops…meant to quote Priam in my previous post…
31 on the ACT:
34- English
23- Math
33- Reading
32- Science
195 on the PSAT
66- Verbal
56- Math
73- Writing Skills
I hates me some math and it shows…
The PSAT’s full acronym is, I think, PSAT-NMSQT. Thus pronounced PEE-SAT NIM-SQUAT by my high school guidance counselor, causing much merriment amongst my fellow juvenile classmates.
Ahhh, ok…I’ve never seen it’s full name, but then again, the State Schoolboard never did approve of the letter Q…
SATs: 1190.
that was my second attempt. i had four AP classes under my belt by senior year, advanced biology, i had been in the gifted program since the 7th grade . . . yet my friend who took only art courses (not that there’s anything wrong with that) scored a 1340 while i couldn’t even break 1200.
so when do those AP classes start paying off? don’t get me wrong, i didn’t want her to score lower. i just wanted to break 1200 . . . at LEAST.
Don’t feel bad. These threads tend to generate, ah, inflated scores, as it were. It’s the same with IQ threads; “Yeah, I have a 177 IQ, but it’s no big deal, doesn’t mean much, ha ha ha. 177.”
It’s also likely that the people who respond are going to be people who did very well on their SAT’s. No one who got a 400 is going to post here to brag about it, lol.
So this isn’t exactly a scientific way of determining average doper SAT scores.
The real perfect score. (Sorry, I had to say it. Hopefully, most of you who are teens, stoners or both will ‘get it’.)
I took the SAT in my junior year and got a 1280. I thought I was hot stuff…
And then I took it again this year and got a 1390. :eek:
I don’t get it either, but I’m not complaining.
780 verbal, 700 math (for all the good it’s ever done me!)
1520 SAT- 800 V 720 M
31 on ACT though my science was lower, like a 29 and my verbal was 36.
Can’t remember SAT II’s or PCAT
PCAT was good enough to get me a National Merit scholarship.
I stayed up the whole night before the SAT watching softcore porn on Showtime, and I still got a 1600.
From my time in college, it turns out that it was a pretty accurate indicator of my test-taking abilities.
Unfortunately, it turns out that it was a poor indicator of my overall ability to succeed in college, as I got put on academic propation pretty quick for skipping classes in favor of lying in my dorm room reading.
I probably wouldn’t have done that had I been paying for college myself, so getting a 1600 and a full ride may have been a bad thing in the long run. My combination of depression and indecisiveness may have caused me to fail in any case, but if I was paying I would have dropped out immediately and got help.
In any case, I’ve lost the full ride. I’m working to pay for classes, and I am getting much more out of them.
Thank you all for making me feel WAY less geeky. Back in 1990, I scored a measly 600 math and 630 verbal. That’s a pretty low one on this board!
This is so pointless, I can’t believe I’m doing this…
Keeping in mind that this means nothing except that I’m good at multiple choice tests, I got, as far as I can remember (and I may very well be wrong) 720 verbal/730 math on the SAT, 34 on the ACT, and 800’s on all three general parts of the GRE’s.
SAT: 590 Verbal (I showed up ten minutes late; otherwise this might have been a little higher); 690 Math
ACT: 28 Aggregate; I don’t remember the individual scores.
IIRC, my ACT score was in the 89th percentile at the time (1978). Among posters to this thread, I don’t think I’m in the top two-thirds.
If only all there was to life was taking tests…
From what I hear, the filmakers were supposedly trying to make a point about the exaggerated emphasis put on standardized tests. However, from what I’ve seen of the advertising, I suspect that this point is made poorly, and the movie probably is crap.
33 Composite on the ACT.
Verbal-36
Reading-36
Science-36
Math- let’s not discuss it, OK?
ACT: 34/36, which was (I think) 99th percentile
LSAT: 168/180, 97th percentile
Didn’t take the SAT.
Never took the SAT, but I got a 30 cum. on the ACT.
If I recall correctly it broke down as
27 English
28 Reading
32 Math
33 Science.
1400 even: 770 verbal/630 math. Both were higher than I expected, especially math (I was hoping to break 1300, and was scoring in the high 1200s on practice tests). Didn’t take the ACT because I didn’t apply to any schools outside the East. I remember getting 730 on the writing subject test (the essay one) and 540 on the foreign language one but can’t remember the othe subject I took. Of course, this all made up for my mediocre 3.4 GPA in high school, but that’s another story.
I took the ACT four times, getting composites of 30, 31, 32, and finally, 33. My high scores in each area are below.
36 English
36 Reading
35 Math
30 Science
I took the SAT twice, high score was a 1480, 800 verbal, 680 math. My other score was a 1470, I think - scored a little lower on the verbal.
