What's a "perfect" score in the SAT or ACT? I took them many years ago and don't remember my scores.

With the way some people freak out about SAT scores you'd think the size of a certain male organ was inversely proportional to their SAT score or something.....
One of my friends got a 1580 and he wasn't really satisfied
people go to $1000s of prep classes now. some people really are not satisfied considering they've blown like 5k on classes.
i dunno the SATs require things that school doesnt teach anymore, a good vocabulary, a person who likes reading , reasoning skills and basic math ability. all severely lacking in the world of today. when 87% of the 18-24 population cant find iraq on a map, well yeah...
you're only stupid if you think SATs actually mean anything other than how well you take tests. I know a guy who got 1210 the first time, but studied his ass off in the summer and ended with a 1570.
Dood, SAT means squat, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
<--- 1210 SAT
<--- 3rd Year Molecular Biology major (taking year off b4 med school), 3.4 GPA, Cornell Univ.

I have 1040 and I'm functioning normally... Heck I even considered my SAT to be 'good.' You shouldnt really compare your score with other people's. You need to be more confident with it and stop worrying on a *1270* score. With a score of 1040 I bet I'm more successful than some people with much higher SAT. It's believing what you're actually capable of doing that will lead you to success.
thats the problem with the young-uns...their academic credentials will be sky high, but nothing beyond that. Not to say that all of you are like that...
I only got an 1100...and I seem to be ok hehe, I think what most people fail to realize is the difference between those who can test take and those who can perform. Put me in front of a multiple choice test, I do so-so... Give me an essay or big project, I always get an A. You will realize that when you get into college that some of the most informative classes come where tests are shadowed by a chunky project or a lot of papers and essays. I hate to tell you guys, but I don't think your future employer is going to say "ok (insert name here), we need a proposal, but rather than you giving us a lengthy report, we'd like you to choose from A, B, C, or D"

The only reason I can come up with so many ppl flock to a thread to post SAT/ACT/GPA is the lack of attention received from those respective scores in real life. How many time do you go out and expect someone to care about your scores? Nobody cares about it in real life, so thats why I think ppl are so eager to type in "1580 SAT HA!" in every forum possible. A friend of mine who was a bookworm in HS and College whos had GPA of 4.1 and SAT of 1400+ and BA in Networking now has a job as network admin assistant @ $15 an hr. I had 1040 SAT and 3.33 GPA and not even graduated from college yet, and I have a job repairing PCs @ $20 an hr. You get the idea.
I took it without studying and got a 1190. I think it was 1190 or 1290... it really didn't matter much then and doesn't now.
1270 is bad? You smoking crack. Waht was the math/verbal breakdown and what are you going to go to school for?

Hahaha, this is funny. I had a 550 on the verbal and a 610 on the math...... (I only took the SAT and ACT once and didn't worry about it. I had a 24 on my ACT btw.) I got into the only school that I applied to, and graduated with a 3.4 in mechanical engineering. I was able to co-op at a fortune 50 company, and I had a reasonable job offer as soon as I graduated. I'm enrolled in a graduate program now, and will finish in a year and a half.
I had an 1160 on my SAT and everything is working out just fine! Don't worry about it!!!!!!!

They are adding a writing section to the SAT-1 in 2005, along with eliminating analogies and making the math section more difficult.
College Board Announces SAT Changes
Hish School:
Lets see here. 1030 on SATs. 670 math and what is that on verbal? Damn it? Carry the one, umm.... 360 verbal. Graduated in the middle of my class.
College:
Went to Clarkson University.
Got a 2.6/4.0 (2.7/4.0 in major) in electrical engineering. Did one co-op.
Professional life:
I'm making $50,000+ (not posting salary) and expect to hit $70,000+ in 5 years.
What I learned after school(some ranting here):
This is what ticks me off. I worked all my life to make the same salary as someone that went to trade school to be a welder. IT'S BULLSH!T! The real world is FAKE! Learn how it works, and only then can you become wealthy. You must be an owner of something to be a true success, without this, you will always be average, regardless of your 4.0/4.0 or your 1600 SAT score. Me, the average guy, will one day be a multi-millionair becasue only now am I learning how money works and how to really make money. The government's educational system tells you that you need good grades to get a "good job". Meanwhile, the ones that have figured the real world out are sitting back, relaxing, making 10 times as much as those people with "good jobs". Who is smatter? The guy with the 4.0 or the guy with the money? IMHO, money is a the only measurment of intelegence in the real world. Money is VERY REAL ... measurements of intelegence (grades and SAT scores) are FAKE!

So they're gonna make the test even longer, eh? I had enough problems paying attention for 3 hours when I took it.
I have friends who have to take an 8 hr test for their PE, I would rather slit my wrists than take an 8 hr test.
