SAT Scores

I want to see the types of scores that people got on the SAT, as well as what colleges they attend(ed), and their current jobs, to see an overall relationship, if it exists, between SAT scores and life.

I took the SAT on October 11th, and got my scores online yesterday:

Math: 600
Verbal: 760
Total: 1360

hmm, can I remember from 12 years ago?

I *think* mine was 1380; I'm sure my verbal score was higher than math.

I enrolled at a small-ish liberal arts type college as a prospective modern languages major...then transferred to a much larger technical univ to pursue information technology. I proceeded to flunk out rather quickly.

I have since had two full-time jobs, both of which have involved assembling/testing/troubleshooting computers.

I made a 1150 on it, but I'm thorougly convinced that the SAT is bullshit anyway. My brother took it twice. The first time he made a 910, and the second time he made a 1180. Almost 300 points difference just by taking it twice? Ha ha.

That was the 2nd time, which was a little bit better than first time.

Didn't take the SAT, because I hate taking standardized tests and the ACT was enough for me. I go to a private liberal arts college in Michigan, not sure on major yet.

I never took any preparation classes or psat. woke up 10 minutes before the test, finished 20 minutes before everyone else, went home and fell back asleep. I don't remember the individual scores but I got something like a 1260... I really didn't give a shit since I wasn't planning on going to college at the time.

and here I am, going to college and I don't think my SAT scores counted for shit anyways... *shrug*

In 4th grade I tested on the high school senior level in Math and English... and some online IQ test told me I had 140. I don't put much faith in test numbers.

You all make me feel dumb.

IIRC my score was skewed because of my learning disability w/math (I have no ability to remember formulae, which makes math at trig and above very very difficult)

1280 combined

what's the best score you can get?
I got 465 points in my Leaving Cert (out of 600)... enough for my course in College.

That's all that matters.

Because of the evils of religious oppression I didn't have an opportunity to take advantage of it until now.

As for those who feel dumb.
SAT scores don't make you a superior human being... it's how you affect other peoples lives that makes you superior/inferior.

Pretty EVERYONE in my high school gets 800 for their MATH... SAT math isn't very hard. I didn't study for it at all. Much easier than my high school exams, which were the British GCE O Levels.

The SATs are supposed to be a measure of general ability, not a measure of knowledge, so there isn't much point in trying to study for it. You end up with the sad situation of teachers trying to 'prepare' students for the SATs by drilling them with word analogies and other bullshit like that. No point. Just get them to read and write ( in complete sentences, not the rubbish IMglish that you tend to see nowadays... ) more....

Didn't take the SAT's. Got a 30 on the ACT. I have no idea what that is in SAT scores. I should have taken it again (I took it twice my junior year and improved from 26 to a 30. If I would have taken it once more, I'm sure I would have gotten atleast a 32-33)

I'm like in the 99% for reading and math on the ACT's.

I know I am making excuses here, but I actually passed out during my SAT test. The girl behind me kicked me and woke me up. The night before was graduation night for the class above me and I had alot of friends that were leaving. I threw up 3 times and got to bexd at about 4 am. ugh

790 Math
410 Verbal - I couldn't comprehend shit.
-----
1200

I think I would have made between 1400-1500 had I been coherent but I wasn't.

I got a 33 on my ACT which got me into any college that I was looking at.

Ended up at UT (what a mistake).

I quit taking math after basic intro trig stuff, since I saw no need for it as an English major (and I wanted to graduate HS in 3 years with Honors, decided to stay for an extra year anyways, aka-senior year/no serious classes).

I must say, I felt pretty good about my scores til I saw some of these!!

Sledge, that's absolutely amazing!

Overall, this whole group seems to be above average!

I'm at UCONN now, and I do distinctly remember taking the SAT's twice, and some SAT II's. I don't feel that my SAT I scores accurately reflected my ability level. SAT II's, I got 740 for Writing, 680 on Physics halfway through a year-long physics class, and I'm fairly sure I got some number on some other test that I think I took at the same time as those two.

Back when I took it there was little in the way of strategy around taking it and prep classes had yet to become the norm. Not that it would have mattered since I knew everything when I was young and probably wouldn't have taken the courses anyway.

I took the SAT three times. First time was in seventh grade. I got like a 900 without ever having taken any real math courses. My mom tried to tutor me but I just wasn't into it. I mean come on, trying to sell a multi-hour test to a kid who just wants to play baseball/football/ride motorcycles?

The second time I got like an 1150. The third time I took it because I was trying to up my overall application score for the Air Force Academy. Got 1250.

Didn't get into the Academy despite having a congressional recommendation since I was seriously light on extracurricular activities and I wasn't "well rounded enough".

Got accepted to a bunch of engineering schools Ga Tech, NJIT, Stevens Institute but went with Rutgers School of Engineering since I had a feeling I wouldn't stick out the engineering stuff. I just couldn't see myself as an ME for the next 20 years. Went with economics instead.

I took it back before the recentering of the scores, but more importantly, took the PSAT really early one morning, and that one morning's worth of work was worth about $75,000 in scholarships. I really love standardized testing!
