30 when I was 13 in my sophomore year. I'm certain that if I were the correct age I would have gotten a 35 or 36.

I don't think I took it again.

I remember finishing the math test and looking up and seeing that nobody else was finished with 20+ mins left. I was like, whoopsie. Got a 19 on the math section. My school let coaches teach algebra so while you were learning how to complete the square i was watching "home improvement" (the sitcom with tim allen) Man i hate my high school.

It's been a little while, but if I can remember correctly:

34 in English
36 in Math
35 in Reading
36 in Science Reasoning

35 Composite. That was my second try at the beginning of senior year. First try I got a 31.

I got a 30, only took it once. Might as well have gotten a 20, it didn't help me at all or get me any scholarships. I had a 3.9 GPA in high school too. I guess that's whay you get for going to a big engineering school.

I didn't take the ACT yet but I got 1220 on the SAT.

Is that good enough for any UC's other then Riverside?

29 the first time, 24 the second :eek: go figure. I don't remember what my individual scores were. I do know that that Uncle Sam got ahold of my scores though; I never got a call from a recruiter before I took the test, but afterwards I got one monthly (or better) for almost two years.

1st time: 34

2nd time: 32

SAT: 1440

They measure nothing but how well you can take standardized tests, though. I took an ACT and SAT class...

1440 is an awesome score! Do you go to Berkeley or other good school?

I can't even break 1300's :( :( :( :( :(

Nothing went right for me this year. :( :|

Why do people feel the need to qualify their scores with comments like, "I fell asleep during the test", "I had brain surgery the day before", or "There was a pit bull chowing on my leg at the time"? What you got is what you got. Everyone knows that not all "smart" people test well on the SATs/ACTs. There's no need to either be embarrassed or attempt to brag about your scores.

I didn't take the ACTs and I got a 1490 on the SATs. 2250 on the GREs.

My sister got a 9 the first time she took it :Q
I think she got it up to a 17 the second time around.
 

28.

Friend down the street got the perfect 36 on it. So did his older brother. He also did a 1480 on the SAT, while his brother got a 1530. He was pissed. Oh well, it doesnt matter all that much once you get into college.

I took the ACTs 3 times. First time I got a 32. Second a 33, and the third time I kept that 33. I figured it was about as high as I could go.

The SATs were another matter. 1240, which while not shabby wasn't nearly as impressive as my ACTs. Of course the main thing about these tests is that the ACT tests you on logic whereas the SAT is mostly testing you on how well you take tests.

Old Sammy apparantly thought I was too much of a nerd to send recruiters off to call me. (35 math if I remember right) Unfortunately the summer before my senior year I took Weight Training with the football team so I could get my P.E. credit out of the way and leave time open for other things during the school year. The class was just fine, I got in shape damn quick, but after that I got some calls, lemme tell ya.
