SATs

Who here have taken the SATs?

I just did a month ago.

An average score to get into a well-off university would be in the 2000 range. I barely made it with 2060.

What do you need to know? I've spent 2 month studying for it, so I can answer some questions.

Most of us college bound kids have. There pretty easy. I cant believe GW got a 1206 and goes to yale.

For me:
Math:800
Verbal: 770
Reading:720(God damn it!! wish they didnt have this section, I never really got time to prepare for it)
total:2290/2400

Since the math covers basic algebra and algebra II, plus a little geometry, it wasnt hard at all. Just take couple practice ones, and your score will rise.

Sh*t, you guys do much better than I did when I took it many years ago.:rofl:

I still consider you luckier, since you didnt have to take the Reading section. Why did the college board have to slap us with a new section in my Junior year??

Just courious, how many of you have taken SAT prep classes (sometimes sponsered by your chinese school)?

Yes, reading is also my weakest area.

I didn't took any prep classes.

yeah, I remember those days...

My mom is chinese, so she pushed me very hard... I start SAT prep in 10th grade and took again in senior year. My score was i think about 1900. The math part is eaaaaasssy! Reading sucks ass!

The best way to prepare is not to study 2 month before the test, it take years of study to get a good score.

One thing make made is this other asian kid in my high school time got a PERFECT score on SAT! WTF! After that, because I am half asian, everyone in my class expect me to get the same, that pissed me off!

........oh my god...

The Reading section has been around for years.
It is the writing section that was new.
I don't kno where you got your math/verba/reading from... its math/reading/writing.

Are you sure you're talking about the right test?

Holy crap you guys all did a LOT better than I did... my scores actually DECREASED the second time around...

First time : Verbal 700, Math 680

Second time : Verbal 700, Math 640, Writing 620

There was this especially weird question in the new Writing section. They give you some sentences, and tell you to pick out the parts that make the sentences incorrect.

However, in one case I got into a real dilemma. To make a long story short, if the boy had 2 mommies then the sentence would have no grammatical errors. If not, then the sentence was wrong.

I didn't really think that they would have a lesbian family in a nationwide SAT test, so I randomly marked one because I couldn't find anything wrong. It still has be boggled today.
