Got My SAT Scores

[Mitch]

Got a 1520 / 2400, first time taking it

Critical Reading I got a 560, the average is a 508

Math I got a 400, average is a 520.

Writing I got a 560, but there is no average yet for some reason it says.

On the essay I got 8/12.

I'm taking it again in June. SAT's are gay.

[joelmole]

did you take the psat?

[apoemtothedead]

Wow. You killed it.

[Mitch]

Wow. You killed it.

Everybody I know that has taken this new SAT has done horrible. Even the "smart" kids. Nobody knows how to do the math because our school county has not really encouraged it until now since College Board added a lot more of it to the SAT.

[nobodysmonkey]

I don't get the new scoring. I rocked the SATs though.

[apoemtothedead]

I don't get the new scoring. I rocked the SATs though.
New section. Basically.

I got 1550 my first time, around 1530 my second, and 1650 my third time. I suck at those tests, plus I felt sick during the second one. I regret taking it 3 times since they see all your scores but two is alright. Usually colleges either choose your best score or average them.

A 1650 gets you into Syracuse?

[cris545]

A 1650 gets you into Syracuse?
hush :), the other stuff weighed the scores perfectly.

[Brandn3w]

are you a junior? im taking them in june ive been averaging like 560- 600 in math 630 in reading

[I am all talk]

mark did you get a 2000+?

[apoemtothedead]

mark did you get a 2000+?
yeah.

[sharpenup]

I got 1810 my first time.
I then took it 6 months later and definitely got lower. I cant remember but it was around 1600.
I did ok, I guess.
I was suprised since I did really really bad on the PSAT.
I got so low... it was pathetic. As in the lowest out of everyone I knew.

better sharpen up.

[I am all talk]

yeah.
>2100?

[fedhed7]

I got 1980. Fucking 20 points away from a 2000. Thats like one question.

Anyway, I didn't take it a second time. I was happy with my score.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

I am only taking them for the first time in April. Every time I scheduled them, I cancelled cause I had better things to do like...go to shows.:)

[annn]

Took for 2nd time in Jan and 2180 :D
The Writing section raped me like crazy though.

[Mscales67]

i had the exact same

[richter915]

mark did you get a 2000+?
he's a jew. The head of the college board is a jew.

hmm...

[apoemtothedead]

>2100?
:(

[Tony Pascarella]

On the PSATs, I got 70 and 73 on English and 58 on Math this year. I'm taking the SATs on April 1st.

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

I rocked an 1870. Nothing too impressive, but I was happy.

[Colin Farrell]

thats really fucked up that they changed it...i feel bad for you kids

[fedhed7]

thats really fucked up that they changed it...i feel bad for you kids
Why? They took out those bitches analogies and added a simple essay section.
Thats awesome.

[fedhed7]

On the PSATs, I got 70 and 73 on English and 58 on Math this year. I'm taking the SATs on April 1st.

Not bad...

[Jess7286]

What's a 2100 in old SAT scores?

Man, that shit was so 3 years ago.

[fedhed7]

What's a 2100 in old SAT scores?

Man, that shit was so 3 years ago.
Pretty much take 2/3 of the new score and you have the old one.

It's essentially a 1400/1600.

[Jess7286]

Oh, that's decent I guess. I have no clue how the new one works but on the old one, I did decently well. Just keep in mind kids, SATs aren't ALL that matters and just because you do well on them doesn't mean you'll do well in college.

[LostSymphonies]

Why? They took out those bitches analogies and added a simple essay section.
Thats awesome.

haha i loved the analogies..hated the SAT's tho, whatever that was 3 years ago

[Jess7286]

What happened to the English SAT2 though if they added an essay section? The essay is pretty easy but that's all subjective.

[fedhed7]

Oh, that's decent I guess. I have no clue how the new one works but on the old one, I did decently well. Just keep in mind kids, SATs aren't ALL that matters and just because you do well on them doesn't mean you'll do well in college.
haha, no, but if you do well on them you'll get into a good college.

[Jess7286]

haha, no, but if you do well on them you'll get into a good college.

Yeah, grad school is important too though. You in college? It's really great, but thinking about the times I kill my liver and lungs, it's a tough, long 4 years.

[FallToGlory]

Why? They took out those bitches analogies and added a simple essay section.
Thats awesome.

they made it an hour longer too. more questions

i never prepared for it and got a 2030.

i guess im just good with that kind of stuff

too bad my grades are just average... schools not my forte

[kidinthecorner]

I raped the SATs. I'm glad I took it before they added writing tho, because taking the writing part in the PSATs made me want to kill a baby. I took the PSATs in January in the cafeteria when a window was open, it was miserable.

But the SATs were a joke, that word analogy shit is so easy, and I have the most limited vocabulary in the history of the English language.

[pinkjinx87]

I took the SATs before the essays were added...I did really good in the verbal part but completely sucked at the math part.

[Shatter590]

I took the SATs before the essays were added...I did really good in the verbal part but completely sucked at the math part.
same here. my math score was a 530, but my verbal was over 700

[pinkjinx87]

same here. my math score was a 530, but my verbal was over 700Ugh, I hate math. I've been in a couple classes that help you with math if your not so good in it.

[Shatter590]

mine is ok, up to maybe geometry

then, to quote NFG, its all downhill from here. I dont even understand calculus

[pinkjinx87]

I almost failed geometry...the teacher said that if I didn't pass the End of course test, then she would have to fail me. Luckily, I somehow managed to pass with an 87. Which surprised me because I really suck at tests.

[Shatter590]

i had a great teacher who helped me pass the class, but i skated by on my regen ts with a 67

[clevernapkins]

act's for me. go midwest.

[pinkjinx87]

Yeah, I took Trigonometry my senior year (last year) and did really good in it. The teacher ruled. I liked the way she taught it..she made us answer questions and we had to either know it or look dumb. But I guess it all depends on how the teacher teaches..the techniques, and if it works for you.

[Shatter590]

trig is easier than geometry I think. my trig teachers were hard, but I still scored a 76 on my regents.

[pinkjinx87]

Is regents your final exam? And how many teachers did you have?

[allstarme24]

wow, this makes me feel old. when i took the SATs it was still out of 1600. i didn't even know they changed it.

i also had to take the ACTs. kicked its ass though.

[pinkjinx87]

They just changed the SATs like a year ago, right? I don't remember when, but not too long ago.

[Shatter590]

regents are a state mandated standardized test in a goven subject you need to pass to get credit for graduation. only NY has them as far as I know.

I had a different teacher for both semesters.

[pinkjinx87]

Oh yeah, NC has that except they are called EOC..End Of Course tests.

[Shatter590]

i'm sure every state does.

up until recently, though, you didnt need to take regents for your diploma. I never understood the difference, just the color of the stamp on your diploma.

[pinkjinx87]

Well we have to pass those tests or we don't graduate, thats how its always been. Sometimes though they change what classes that you have to take. Like I took this required class in the 9th grade called Political Economic and Legal systems. Then, couple of years later they decide that kids don't have to have this class to graduate.

[Shatter590]

they had that for science, some weird, conglomerate of all the sciences, then it justupped and vanished, I would have preferred it to chem, honestly.

[Boring Pop Song]

i got a 1430 on the old ones, not too bad

[pinkjinx87]

I can say that I got lucky when it came to sciences in high school. Somehow I always managed to have the easy teachers. For instance, I took AP Chemistry..this teacher was soo easy, and an AP class at that.

[Shatter590]

my school devised a program for AP Forensics. I took it, and it was amazing. and the credits transferred to my college too, unlike my AP english and AP bio

[pinkjinx87]

To be able to transfer an AP class into a college credit here you had to take a test..did you have to do that?

[Shatter590]

yeah, and you needed at least a 3.0 out of 4.0 to get the creds to transfer. I got 4.0 in all of it, and my school said no tothe englush and bio. youd think with my scores in verbal and on essays they would have just waived the 120 or 220.

[pinkjinx87]

Yeah, it should have. I also took AP European History and that teacher made us write like crazy. I had a callous on my finger where I wrote so much. Then at the end of the year he collected our notebooks to make sure no one else would have the notes for the next semester. I was going to sell my notes too..lol.

[Shatter590]

lol, naughty girl

i never took notes, but i did grow accustomed to writing. when I hit college, I was miles ahead of my peers. then my college had this writing crackdown, and once again, despite my high scores, I needed to prove to them that I could write.

[pinkjinx87]

Did you prove it to them?

[Shatter590]

i got a 6 out of 6. showed them up.

[pinkjinx87]

You had to do what you had to do...proved em wrong. So are you in college now or what?

[afk999]

I got 1390 on the old one

[Shatter590]

You had to do what you had to do...proved em wrong. So are you in college now or what?

I graduated from undergrad in 2004. I'm applying top grad schools now while taking a few classes on the side at NYU.

[pinkjinx87]

I graduated from undergrad in 2004. I'm applying top grad schools now while taking a few classes on the side at NYU.Oh. What classes are you taking now?

[Shatter590]

Oh. What classes are you taking now?

The Crusades
Religions of Mexico and Central America
Intro to Ehtnomusicology
Anthropology of Gender

[pinkjinx87]

The Crusades
Religions of Mexico and Central America
Intro to Ehtnomusicology
Anthropology of GenderHm. I think that The Crusades would be a cool class. How are these classes? Hard?

[Shatter590]

50/50 split

Crusades is awesome, but I also know the professor, so its a breeze because we're pretty much friends and I know her system. Same for religions of mexico. I also get major latitude when it comes to projects.

Ehtnomusicology sounds cool, but most of what ive been studying is tribal music and warfare/religion. not as fascinating as I;d hoped, but not brutal either

Anthro of gender on the other hand...

my prof is a feminist, and she hits guys hard with quizzes and everything. i'm pulling an A, but its a hard A

[pinkjinx87]

So you like history? I loved learning about european history. And don't you hate how some teachers are like that? Like your feminist teacher?

[Shatter590]

So you like history? I loved learning about european history. And don't you hate how some teachers are like that? Like your feminist teacher?
ive had 3 feminist teachers. most of the time i can skirt by it. but this one...she thinks i'm faking my views to get an easier grade.

history is fun, but to be honest, I never took a single history class in college. The most i got was in my anthro class, and that was mostly ancient history. or when I did eurpoean religions and we studied prehistoric europe and ancient greece. that was fascinating

[pinkjinx87]

In drivers ed, I had this driving instructor who didn't like girls for some reason. He critisized me the whole time I drove with him. But when a guy would drive, and drive horribly, he wouldn't say a word to them. And I drove pretty good for a kid who hadn't never driven a car before. lol

[Shatter590]

oh god lol. I had a prof like that first semester, he hated women and felt they had no place in college. but he also hated just about everybody. he was a harsh grader and it was really hard to earn his respect.

He gave out 2 A's (one to a woman at that), 4 B's, 15 C's and maybe 100 D's & F's. ive never seen so many credit/no credits in my life.

[pinkjinx87]

O yeah..and there was my geometry teacher, remember the one that I almost failed? lol, yeah she was really hard. She also taught Calulus and all my friends in that class said that they were failing. And these are smart kids too. So obvioisly she taught at a much higher level. Maybe she should teach college..nevermind, with my luck I would probably have her as my teacher here. lol

[Shatter590]

lol

you'll get a lot of that in college. some professors, especially the older ones or the ones who teach a lot of grad courses, expect you to either know everything or fail. ive seen many a student drop out of college after taking one hellish class.

ironically, the teachers I had in HS who had PhD's and taught college, were MORE understanding of the students than the others.

[pinkjinx87]

Well so far my teachers aren't that bad, but then again i'm only in a community college right now. I'm definitely considering transfering on over to UNC. And i'm also taking online classes..which is really not my thing. I would rather be in a class than online. Actually talk to the teacher rather than email her.

[Shatter590]

problem with online classes is the impersonality. i agree, its better to actually see and speak to your professor rather than just email or IM. plus it eliminates of the best aspects of class: discussion.

[pinkjinx87]

I know..we have this discussion board thing, but it's not the same. I can't really argue a point online..I just can't lol. I'd much rather see these people. But I guess it's more convienient. I don't know..I just don't like it.

[Shatter590]

well, you obviously spend enough time on a discussion board as it is lol.

college is more about socializing than classes, i feel. class is awesome, but i grew more from making friends and hanging out on campus.

[pinkjinx87]

Not as much as I spend on AP..lol. This takes me from my discussion time for school, but I get it done. I am supposed to talk on there atleast 3 times a week. I agree..college is not only about trying to get your major, but to meet interesting people and to grow more as a person.

[Shatter590]

and partying lol. you cant forget that.

digital age my arse, its just not as fun as being on campus.

[pinkjinx87]

O yeah..partying must not forget that awesome aspect of college lol. I had to take as much classes as I could this semester. I want to take all the stuff I have to and get that over with now. Like those horrible math classes.

[Shatter590]

i hear you, i did all my requirements in the first 4 semesters, leaving the last 6 for whatever i wanted to. thing was, i never overloaded on classes, which i guess is why i graduated late.

[pinkjinx87]

Yeah...I'm overloaded right now on classes. But with no job at the moment I can keep up with everything easily.

[yutsmcgee]

i made the old SAT my bitch.

[Shatter590]

Yeah...I'm overloaded right now on classes. But with no job at the moment I can keep up with everything easily.

thats the plus side. when i wasnt working i could focus on class more, but then again, I could also focus on fun more lol.

i get distracted easily in school. its a bad quality, i know, but it helped me stay sane, and write a book.

[pinkjinx87]

thats the plus side. when i wasnt working i could focus on class more, but then again, I could also focus on fun more lol.

i get distracted easily in school. its a bad quality, i know, but it helped me stay sane, and write a book.Oh, I can relate when it comes to being distrated easily in school..lol. My mind wanders and I doodle or sleep. Ah yes..you write. Tell me about that.

[Shatter590]

i get distracted so easily, that i can often get bored.

i was taking this class in religious experience, and the prof, while nice, was exceptionally boring. so i would spend the time writing out tales of whatever. I did this series called the train stories that were all short, first person tales centered around trains. then I started my book, and, well, its gone on since.

you do realize that we've completely jacked this thread lol

[pinkjinx87]

I know lol, we've been like this every day, with whatever thread is handy at the time. I write too. Usually when something pops into my mind, I write it down. Mostly short stories or poetry. I might suck at it at times, but I love writing.

[Shatter590]

this is true. lol

i havent been doing poetry for a long time, not since HS. i tend to write down whatever ideas I have, and sometimes a story develops from it. last one i wrote i sold for about $500

[pinkjinx87]

Nice. That would be a good way for me to earn some cash lol. I write some weird stuff. Mostly fantasy or sci-fi. I like making up my own world. Deciding how the people are..it can be futuristic or whatever.

[Shatter590]

i write mostly fantasy. not much for futuristic, for some reason it never comes out right.

right now i'm working on a fantasy that incorporates the mythologies of europe that i pulled from the religions of europe class. traditional celtic fantasy, using actual celtic gods lol

[pinkjinx87]

I love celtic stuff. And scottish stuff. I want to go to the UK. Fantasy is awesome to work with to me. The skys the limit in writing a fantasy to me.

[Shatter590]

ive been to the UK, and its amazing. ironically, it took a trip to ireland to get my mind flowing again and into the mood to write. i was stale back home, doing nothing but fan fiction and bad BS.

try to go thru school. thats what I did.

[pinkjinx87]

Your lucky. I want to go because i'm over half scottish and welsh, and because it has alot of history and its a beautiful country.

[Shatter590]

i went because i'm half irish.

it is, very green, very laid back, very nice.

also very expensive.

[pinkjinx87]

I think that i'm irish too, but i'm not sure. lol. I don't really know much about my dads side of the family, but I think it's irish. And I Love the color green. Me eyes are green lol

[Speyside]

Wow, I feel so old now. I took the "old" SAT's and got a 1480 (800 Verbal, 680 Math).
