I took the SAT on January 27, and I receive my scores tomorrow.
Who has taken these tests, and for what purpose? How well have you done?
Discuss, I guess.
Honestly, I think I got around the 500s. The fact that I am in 8th grade should be taken into consideration though...

26 is... really good. Why'd you take it in 8th grade? I did to make a feeble attempt for IMSA.

I got a 29 on the ACT in my junior year. After that I decied to go to the Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts, so I didn't bother taking the SAT.

I took the SAT back in November. Took it so I can apply to college, not revealing my score. Actually I don't think I even remember what I got exactly. D:

meh, are we discussing scores too? D:

sat 1s i got 690 maths, 640 words, 630 writings. pretty shithouse scores for my school. someone i was talking to online got near perfect on a lot of his shit, and i know that i can kick his ass in some subjects, like biology and chemistry.

sat 2's i believe, not entirely sure, i got:
biology-m:790 bio's my best subject by far.
math2:740? it's more impressive when you know i didn't have a graphing calculator.
spanish: 540 or something like that. not bad for a non native speaker, but shit for someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

if you ask me, the tests are skewed to those who can afford elaborate test preparation, of which there is a lot. it may be a little bit of bitterness on my parts, but i honestly think they're overrated in the sense of using them in college admissions and stuff. the way the tests are formulated sometimes may just mean that you're really good at taking these crazy tests, not necessarily good at what you're being tested on.

interestingly enough, the two schools i broke it down to for my college decision (hampshire and drew) don't require sats for admission.

I took my SAT in 8th grade and got an 1850, I think. It was an 18##.

My SAT:
Readin': 690
'Ritin': 530
'Rithmetic: 600

Not bad, but not good. In the long run, it didn't matter much since I'm just moving to San Francisco and taking film at Academy of Art University.
