To the older forum members: can you remember the time you had to take it? (or do you even want to? 😉)

To the younger forum members: boy, what fun you have to look forward to. 😀

I've taken it once before, and didn't do too badly on it. That, of course, gives me the fear of doing worse this time, but yet the hope that I might do better. I really would prefer it to be the latter. 🙂

Well, just thought I would stop by for a second before going to sleep early (what a *shock*!)...

Happy crunching. 😎
 
the sat test only tests how well you can take the sat test, I've found it actually only has one use, to get into ivy leage colleges......which teach you how to take the sat test.

Good luck

lol, made me look up my old scores

1250 SAT (barely passed with only 550 on the verbal, I hate english)
31 ACT

just over mid way average on each (took them both as a jr. in high school)
 
Well I took the ACT. I did take the PSAT though.

Either way I find the ACT/SAT not every informative. They do give information on how well people are at taking tests and such, but they give no clue on how well the person is at actually applying and using the knowledge...

There are some really good book on standardized testing out there. If you have not read one you should. 😉

Also getting into an ivy leage college is not about the SAT it is about who you know. 😉
 
Heh, yeah, the SAT was fun... I took it when I was in high school in case I decided to go to a US university. I think my best score in the two times I took it was 1350. I know a guy who got a perfect 1600 though!

Good luck. They take the best score out of all of the times you write it for each section, so even if you do terribly, you'll still have the same score as when you first took it. So relax!
 
I know a girl who got a perfect 1600 on the SAT and one of her brothers got a perfect 36 on the ACT. A second brother didn't do quite that well but he still got a scholorship to Notre Dame.

<-----Got a 29 on the ACT (both times) and a 880 (550 math) on the SAT (not too shabby for taking it in eighth grade).
 
Good luck.

It really isn't that bad. I took it twice and scored within 20 points on the two attempts.

Of course, you should be asleep by now😛 (unless you're out west)
 
<------- Never took the sat or act, &amp; still got accepted to the few local &amp; state colleges I applied to.
 
I've taken the PSAT twice, and now (counting this time) the SAT twice. The ACT is something I've not done yet, but I hear that it's got history and science as well as other things, so it doesn't sound fun (yours truly sucks at history 😉).

Anyway, I'm glad it's over... will find out in a month or whenever how I actually did. 😕
 
I got a 1440 on my first SAT, split right down the middle. My second SAT I did better with a 1500 (720 verbal, 780 math!) I think I got a 32 on my ACT.

I hear that it's got history and science as well as other things

Science I remember, but I don't remember it having history 5 years ago.
 
best of luck! 😀

No, don't even remember taking them, but I do remember driving my son to take them several years ago. *sigh* gettin old....
 
I took my SAT's with only 2 hours sleep, a fullltime job in addition to school and a bad case of the flu.
I still managed a 1380 🙂

(belated)Good luck on your tests !!

May the scoring computers err in your favor 😀
 
Damn, now they give kids test on how they sit. :roll:

What's the world coming to? :brokenheart:

I see your spelling hasn't improved much either 😛 🙂





I'm betting you did pretty good on that test Josh. Good luck with the results though 🙂
