Ah Standardized Testing... so similar to high school in general.

So utterly, completely, pointless and terrible at proving anything.

Looks very average, middle of the road. Not good, not poop. But yeah, what Nayrman said, it's just a test...

SATs are pretty dumb.

I half-assed them when I took it last year because I do not function well in the morning.

I did so amazingly bad... I'm going to have to retake them in October.

Reading: 600
Math: 500
Writing: 570

I'm surprised I got an 8 on my essay, since I didn't even make it to the conclusion and I spent the last five minutes writing, "Sorry this is so short and I didn't even get to the conclusion. But time's almost up and I won't be able to finish. Well, have fun scoring SATs!"
I get obsessively manic over things. It's a problem.

Don't bother retaking, it's not worth it.

Also, 5 minutes just to write that? It doesn't even have proper grammar.

I must suck at writing to get the same score as that =(

To be perfectly honest, you have lots of room for improvement.

How much it matters depends on the college; there are a (literal) handful of schools in the country (like the one I went to) that don't require the SAT/ACT anymore, but allow you to submit it if you think it's representative of what you know.

Other colleges still weight the tests pretty heavily, and if you were to apply to one of those schools, they probably wouldn't be too pleased at your results, especially writing. If you plan on going to a 4-year college, I'd grab a study guide and re-take it.

I was blown away that I did so low on reading, 'cause that's usually my strong point. It's probably 'cause I rushed it.

collegeboard is down now, but when I last checked I got a 2030 on the May 1st SAT (previous scores previously posted in this thread)

pretty sure this was the breakdown:

Reading - 610
Math - 760
Writing - 660

that math score is going to help me when applying for cal, hopefully

Keeta

You don't apply for calc, you just take it automatically if you're in advanced math in high school.

If you mean college, that still won't work. Colleges aren't going to give you a credit for Calc 1 just for answering entry-level Math B questions correctly. They give you the credits based on what you get on your AP exam in high school. Depending on the school, you'll need either a 3 (45%), 4 (60%), or 5 (75%, also this is considered a perfect score). The most difficult a college can ask from you is a 5 on the BC, but if you're going to a school like that, you should be able to easily.

...so yeah, dont waste your time lol

I took the SAT once so far and am taking it again on June 5. I might take the ACT once as well--just because. The critical reading and writing parts were a breeze, but I didn't do so well in math.

By the way, I didn't get my scores back yet.

I too didn't finish the essay, but think I did well on it. I don't like being given a set amount of time for things like that.

I also took the entire test without getting out of my seat--just because I could.

It really was a pain waking up early and wasting part of a Saturday though.
I dunno hao 2 put imgs heer :(
