Cerbaho-WG Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I also have a cold. I took a test out of an SAT prep book, and it said I got a 1320. 730 Math, 590 Verbal. So, any good luck would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Took it last year (freshman year). It was low in comparison to my ACT scores as an eighth grader. SAT: 1180 Verbal: 570 Math: 610 Ooh, just found my ACT sheet: English: 25 81st percentile ?Usage: 14 87% ?Rhet. Skills: 12 74% Math:24 76% ?Pre-Al: 13 76% ?Alg. 12 78% ?Trig: 13 82% Science: 28 95% Reading: 31 93% ?Soc. St/Sci: 17 97% ?Arts/Lit: 15 85% Overall: 27 90% I thought the SAT's were easier, but I only got like 70th percentile for out-going seniors on that. I'm guessing it's cause I only skipped a few problems that I didn't know. Probably more than you ever wanted to know about me. Good luck though!

LowerCaseRepublican Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 If you don't know the answer, just put C, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 If you don't know the answer, just put C, haha. No, teachers have caught on, the answer is now B. I got a 29 on the ACT both times i took it with different scores in different areas each time. If i could have combined them i would have gotten a 32 I have a friend that got a 36 on the ACT...TWICE. He had to take it for the prairie state exam also, hence the twice thing. Good luck and remember to pace yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbaho-WG Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Finished it. Was pretty easily except for one verbal test. The rest were quite easy, though. I was kind of amazed to see Distill:Pure :: for the last analogy, freaking easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Lousy SAT's, good thing I don't need those anymore I liked the SAT II's much better because I owned those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Being a stat freak of all kinds I'm real impressed with these scores here. Congrats to all. Cerb I'm sure you did fine. I had to take an SAT when I was 34 and an adult trying to make up for a misspent youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 We didn't have to take the SAT, but I did get a 27 on the ACT. Damned standardized tests only reflecting one part of a person's intelligence. (I am a strong advocate against teaching for one test and allowing one test to have so much of an impact on a person's college availabilities) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I am a strong advocate against teaching for one test and allowing one test to have so much of an impact on a person's college availabilities) You're SAT score is good. I also think you have a point about standardized tests. You have to set standards, but there must be flexibility. Some bright people are not good standardized test takers. Studies have shown that high school grades are a better predictor of college success than SAT and ACT tests. Also females score lower on the SAT ( in the ACT it's almost dead even ) but get better grades in college. A good admissions office will take all factors into consideration. I mostly agree with you on this and like I said 27 is a good score. Perhaps you got 29, 30 or above on one of the four sections? Admissions counselors, at least the good ones are taught to pay attention to a students strong points in the ACT or SAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I had my 1210 and that was that. I agree with Apu, they put too much emphasis on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I tried it when I was 16 even though I can't afford U.S. college. 1250, think I could do better if I'd studied or tried again, but it was a neat experiance, too bad I drink and piss away my years now. Hope I and everyone else find whatever it is we are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
