Sign if you've taken the SAT or ACT! - Page 3

Whoa, this topic still exists.

Anyway, I ended up getting a 31 on my ACT. Looks like I didn't need to be worrying after all.

Shane Sacobie · 06-19-2005, 07:02 PM

I took it. Don't remember what I got, and nobody's ever asked. I'm pretty sure I spelled my name right, which is like 1/8th of the test, though.

I would've had a 1400 on the SAT if they were still scoring it the way they used to, but they just HAD to add that writing section. With my writing score added in, I have a 2040, the equivalent of a 1360 on the old SAT. It's a good score, but I'd most certainly prefer the 1400 that I DESERVED...

...But I'm not bitter at all. [img]smile.gif[/img]

My disappointment is multifold, as writing has always been my greatest academic strength by far. I insist that timed essays are not a fair way to measure a person's writing abilities. REAL essay-writing requires a certain amount of time spent thinking and planning, which you can't really take during the test.

**Wyborn** · 10-24-2005, 06:11 AM

Just got in my SAT scores.

Critical Reading: 800
Math: 740
Writing: 780

I will dance on your faces. 2320, which is better than anything I expected. On the old scale that rounds out to a 1550, which, to my understanding, is a very, very sexy score.

*dance*

Only question now is if I should take it again.

740 on reading, 620 on math and 700 on writing (with a 12 on the essay, I might add). I'm pretty pleased with it.

Sampson1986 · 11-04-2005, 11:34 PM

I took the SAT at the end of my junior year and the beginning of my senior year.

First time: V-510,M-470,C-980
Second time: V-590,M-480,C-1070

Not great scores, but I made it into college, so its all good. I probably would have done better on math if it wasn't for geometry.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 11-05-2005, 02:43 AM

Gotta take it on Saturday.

Yes, TOMMARROW. Have to get up early on my weekend. >_<

I'm sure you'll do just fine, pal. Remember that even if you don't get the score that you want, most colleges focus mainly on high school grades.

Swordmaster Link · 11-05-2005, 08:34 PM

I took it again today, so we'll see how I did.

OcarinaMan · 12-24-2005, 12:14 PM

SATs
Math - 790
Reading - 800
Writing - 650 Essay:7

Tain · 02-02-2006, 09:56 PM

^You suck

Lesee. On the New PSAT, I got..... 2030. ACT, I haven't taken yet.

I was in like the top 5% for my class (2008).

EDIT: I have it in front of me.

670 on Critical Reading.
620 on Math.
710 on Writing.
95th percentile (meaning I'm in the top 5 percent).

Not bad. I could do much better, though.

EDIT 2: you're all making me feel stupid

Partha Somebody · 02-05-2006, 01:00 PM

When I took the SAT I got an 1100 something...yeah im just kinda normal when it comes to my knowledge

Sarai and Samiel · 02-10-2006, 06:20 PM

Hmmm. Wy got 10 less (equivalent) than I did on SAT (Though, to be fair, I took it four years ago).

But then, I've been jammed in the 99th percentile all my life on those tests, so I really don't think it means a whole lot.

**Wyborn** · 02-10-2006, 10:47 PM

20 less if you simply discount the writing part (which is simpler).

Now, if you were to take it again with the writing, we could make a comparison. ...and if I took it a second time, I guess.

Sarai and Samiel · 02-13-2006, 03:34 PM

....and I would take it again why?

**Booyakasha** · 02-17-2006, 09:38 PM

I got a 1470 on my SAT (old scoring system; never took it under the new one) and a 35 on my ACT. If that doesn't blow away the old canard about smart people testing well, I don't know what would.

Darunia00 · 03-05-2006, 01:26 AM

One shot deal, 1440 on the last SATs before writing was implemented.

The real slim Kirby1 · 03-06-2006, 10:19 PM

Wow, compared to some of your scores.....my scores SUCK....

And Im an All A Honor Student too...

Lets just say I got in the 1500's........with the new stuff involved.

I just don't get Vocab and Reading Comprehension stuff

And I got like a 24 on the ACT

**Dr. Horrible** · 03-08-2006, 10:25 AM

I took it once in high school and made a 1410 (760 math, 650 verbal).

ShyGuy727 · 04-08-2006, 11:55 AM

Holy god, took the ACT today. Writing section was easy, I'd be dissapointed with anything less than a 33. Math was ok until the end, I didn't expect much out of myself there.

Reading and science- 40 questions in 35 minutes? Ridiculous, especially science, my gawd. Thanks goodness I'm going to a branch where the only requirement is a 2.0 GPA and that you're breathing, then transferring to a main campus after 20 credit hours.
