aww, you reek of bitterness. Proud of that big 1200? Guidance counselor convinced you it's an "Excellent Score!"?
hey, call it a learning disability, call it being so damn brilliant that you can't concentrate well in an examination designed like the SAT -- but hell, if you can't score 650/650 on two portions of an exam that GIVE you 200 points if you leave every damn problem blank -- then you're a fvcking dumbass.
<waits eagerly for empty self-praise/defensiveness/raw denial that includes any variety of GPA, admissions decisions, current salary>
Haha, don't even try to defend 1300. So not worth it. @ princeton something like 96% scored higher than that. fvck usnews, we have our own statistics.

There are plenty of people I know who scored lower than 1300, and are extremely intelligent. Could they have scored higher? Of course. Much higher? Probably. But they didn't, and that doesn't give me, or you, the right to make fun of them. So enough with the superciliousness .

Weird, every intelligent person I know that actually semi-applied himself got above 1300 on the SAT. THe ones that slacked off were the only ones that got below and I personally chalk up laziness resulting in mediocrity as a form of stupidity.Originally posted by: LtPage1

and that's my point exactly.
like i said, you can claim anything from being so damn brilliant that your mind spends its time calculating the mass of cosmos rather than simple derivatives, or you can say the examination is so far below you that you'd rather take a 400 than lower yourself to filling in trivial bubbles - but in the end, the result is the same: you FVCKED up on a JOKE of a test - what else is there to say?
And hell, if asked, I'd rather just spit out a respectable score instead of having to justify myself everytime with some long, boring, drawn out explanation of why my genius and scantron don't mix.

I could've done better in the writing section, but I got an 8 on the retarded essay. I'm going to take it again, if you take it 3 or less times USF will take the highest score you managed to get in each section from ANY of the times you took it

not worth a decent response, but thanks for the effort :thumbsup:
- ooh wait, maybe it is:
<cue in the overdone jabs about how my life now is so pitiful that i need to grasp at figments from my past that help to remind me- no, delude me into believing- that i was once halfway intelligent. Because now i can't get a girl to save my life and i live in a trailer and smoke myself senseless in a pathetic attempt to ward off the pain of my reality.
/wrists>New scale OR old scale, 1300 is dumbass level. It's even more so with the new scale. I agree that 1300 is pretty pathetic. Hey, "1400" was the supposed Asian average at our high school.
Even more important were SAT IIs. 800 on Math IIC was a must. If you couldn't get that, wow.. pathetic.
But honestly, I wasn't that good with SAT Is.
SAT I: 1390
SAT II Writing: 800
Math IIC: 800
Chem: 780
And where did that land me? Top engineering schools except Stanfurd and MIT accepted me.
Honestly, I think ppl placed too much emphasis on SAT Is. They concentrated on hitting 1400, 1500 and thought that 700 was uber for verbal. Yes it is if you get 700 verbal, 800 math. They kinda applied the same mentality to SAT IIs.
However 700 is not uber for SAT IIs, so most people were like "ooooh I got 750, 730.. good enough". But let's say if you add up SAT IIs and you were 150 pts below me total (50 pts under for each), then that's 150 pts total and since UCs double weight SAT IIs, that puts you 300 points under me in UC scoring. Thus, any 1600 you got was just negated with SAT IIs that I studied more on...

It would appear you are overly protective of how your SAT scores reflect on your level of intelligence. So much to the point where you would make wanton attacks on others. All of which would led me to believe that you need to fulfill some self justicification of how smart you feel, at the expense of others. I would argue that you lack self-confidence more than anything else. Your SAT scores seem to be a crutch to lean on...

why would you quote me, after falling so idiotically into a blatant, pre-empting trap?
did it go that far over your head?
P.S. Your use of ellipsis has proved so mysterious yet disconcertingly discerning that I've begun to question myself based on the incriminations you've provided me. It's so deep, so dark, oh god you read me like a book.

lol
and hey, if me saying that a 1300 is sub-par gets you riled up that badly, than you might possibly have to consider the motives behind your own agenda, yeah?
nobody would argue if I said that scoring a B in 11th grade health was borderline retarded. so up the ante a little (as i would hope we at atot would be able to do, i've always found more than a few members here i thought were both very acute and very sharp), and call the bet?
or you can whine, and clutch futilely for comfort at that enshrined collegeboard envelope framed above the fireplace bearing witness to your treasured 1200.

I never liked the SAT's. What they should have is a common sense test somewhere in highschool since a lot of people seem to lack in that area.

Damn dude, for someone with such a good score you sound fvcking bitter about something.
And hell, a 1200 is still scoring better than 80% of the people that take it.
Don't go off and bring others' scores down because your in the top 1% of those who take it. BTW, what high school year did you take it and score 1590?
Who the hell will give a crap about how you did on your SAT?s once you are in college or out of college? You are a fool if you base peoples intelligence on a stupid SAT score. I'm glad your mommy made you study SAT practice books, and probably had an SAT tutor hired for you to get your 1600, but no one gives a crap that you got a 1600. I woke up the Saturday I had to take the SAT?s, drove there half awake, and put down what ever answer I thought of first. Oh sucks I got a stupid 1200, and I didn?t give half a crap, and didn?t look at a single practice question or spent even a minute studying for it. So what if my younger sister got a 1580, she practiced for it, but if you think she is a genius and I?m an idiot, you are surely mistaken. The only thing SAT test you is how much you practiced their bullshit questions. I?m a CS and math major (my sister is a math/accounting major), and in every class I have received the top scores on all the tests. 3.95 GPA (whoops I got two A-) this last year, taking software engineering, assembly, digital design, operating system concepts, data mining, discrete math, linear algebra, graph theory, etc. I'm also graduating early. I really don?t know where some people get the idea that SAT?s test your level of intelligence. I guess it makes them feel smart when they get an artificial high score.
First off I can confidently say I know you did not score a 1590 on the SAT. People who do don't brag. My uncle scored a 1600 and I never even knew it until I saw his application to med school.
Secondly when I took the SAT in 7th grade and made a 1030 I was in the 86th percentile which means 2 things.
1) The SAT has got to be wrong cause there's no way I was smarter than 86 percent of graduating seniors in 7th grade
2) The number of people you're considering "stupid" make up almost 90% of the population.
When I made my 1280 I scored in the upper 90th percentile. That means (according to you) over 95% of the people in the US are "stupid" and that just isn't true. Maybe they were sick like I was and had to get up and leave before they were done, got their 1280 and decided "Shenz that's good enough why go back?", or maybe they realized how little the test matters.
I scored higher on the Chem test for pharmacy school (took it as a joke) than I did on the CS portion of the GRE and I've only had one college chem class. Gotta love multiple choice, even idiots can get 1600s on the SAT.
I am not personally offended by you saying people with less than a 1300 are stupid because I know it's not true, I just thought I'd point out to you that you were calling almost everyone alive stupid. Also, look at the Harvars and Princeton average freshman scores, they are NOT above a 1500 as you stated, unless you're using a new scale. My state school has a higher entering class average than Harvard, the difference? We let in poor people too.

I got a 32 on ACT (which is what on SAT.. I don't even know) and I have the state/gov/scholarships paying for ~12k a year for my school. Nothin exuberant, but very helpful.
Other than for money, scores are useless. It is what you know and who you know, not just how well you asnwer some multiple choice.

Uh, didn't the SAT scale change to like 2400 points from the good old days that you and I remember of 1600 points?

The simple reasoning behind your responses exposes your inferiority complex. You clench your SAT scores as justificiation to berating others. I find it sad that someone would stoop to a point where mere test scores are the summation of a persons intellect. Should people be proud of their accomplishments on testing? Of course. Should one go on some enraged tangent about others who scored lower than themselves? I would poignant disagree with that type of behavior, and have expressed so much here.
Using your logic, I could bring up wage, housing, and overall family lifestyles and consider many to be my "inferior". Though I would honestly have to question why I would focus so much attention to that aspect of my life. Insofar to make objectionable attacks on ones character, would make my position appear baseless.
