1320. My sister got 1440. This guy I used to work with (we went to HS together) swore he scored 1490. We all knew him and were like "Ummmm suuuure..." Finally after him bragging for like 2 weeks, our boss said he'd give him $50 if he brought in the letter with the score. Surprisingly enough, the "genius" never followed through.

Took SATs in 7th grade for Duke University talent thing... got like 7% national percentile... but it still made me feel good that I scored better than 7% of kids that were 6-7 years older than me. The summer before my junior year of high school I took the ACT and got a composite 29.... which is 97th percentile I think. Good enough for me-- I never took it again.

Actually, thats not bad at all
The national average is right around 1000. 500/500
The computer geeks on this board tend to skew the results.
Plus the people who scored a lot lower are probably less likely to reply to this post.
I had a 1300.
700 math
600 verbal

There were identical twins at my HS who supposedly scored 1600 and 1580.
They were the most sterotypical geek looking guys I have ever seen.
If you've ever seen the movie Stand By Me, you've seen them.
They are the two curly haired geeks with glasses who yell something out from the audience in the pie eating contest scene.

1270

700 Math
570 Verbal

My ACT score was much higher and all of the colleges I applied to took the best score out of the two and used that so I really didn't care.

Don't remember the exact score, but (IIRC) I was in the 98th percentile in verbal and about 37th percentile in math! Unlike most people in this thread, I suck at math but I am pretty good on the verbal part.

Anyone else noticing a trend that we're largely about average on the verbal, but almost everyone here is well above average on the math?

1500. I don't remember verbal and math individual scores, but I know I did better on verbal. Math is not my thing.

Edit: Actually I think I scored 720 on one, 780 on the other.

jeez. ATOT has the top 10 percent of people in the correct. I got a 1280 and a 26 on the ACT. took each only once. for the school I wanted to go to, this was a high enough grade for me.
