SAT & ACT

[Dark]

Well, as you know, I live in Boston. For the most part, those on the eastern coast take the SAT's, those on the western take the ACT's.

 

So, I have the SAT's next week. I've been preparing for a long time.

 

So... discuss standardized tests, or discuss how I can prepare myself for test day.

In England we have SAT's at the ages of like 6/7 10/11 and 14/15 but they've stopped them now It's all good.

Those were the shitty days. (:

[DeREVOLUTION]

We don't take tests here. We have to do problems that is later graded and scored for the year.

[Amaterasu]

I hate national tests. They are ass9.

[Flame Dragon]

I've been wanting to make a thread on this, but never got around to it.

 

I never like the SAT. Mainly because my strong point isn't writing and to me it feels like a good amount of the test is look for me to tell then difference between their and there and other crap like that. Also I hate how long the damn thing is.

 

And as luck would have it the day my friend invites me to go to the Museum of National History I had to take this.

 

As for how I did on it, on my first try I got 1690. The break down was Math 620, Reading 620, Writing 450. I took it a second time but that is still being graded.

I took ACTs in 7th grade. Got 99th percentile and national honors. 'Twas a happy day.

[Father Wolf]

Toke the SAT's got decent, mostly it was a big waist of $75 because college i was planning on going didn't need it.

Agreed.

 

The ACTs is a test for getting into college and as such is made to test people who are going into college, so their is no way you could do that good when you were only in 7th grade.

My test run was pretty good. 760 in Math, and 1170 between Reading and Writing. So a total of 1930. I plan to get a 2000 first SAT try, so I don't have to take it again.

[BehindTheMask]

I took the ACT: Did really well.

 

I took multiple SAT practice tests: Almost all near perfect scores.

 

My secret: Study a little everyday, go outside, take a walk. Relax.

 

The ACT/SAT isn't made to be studied for.

 

Most people who are smart crumble because the SAT/ACT is "hard" unless you study.

[Dark]

The Math section is actually quite a joke. With the slightest bit of studying, I could easily hit an 800.

Damn that's good. I remember on my second PSAT I got something in the 1800s. If memory serves the Math and Readon were about the same with the writing being a lot higher.

Yea, going into either of them you need to have some idea what it's going to be like. Going in blind can be a bit overwhelming.

For some reason a couple of the math questions always trip me up. some times it is because I just don't get it, but I think it mostly comes down to be over or under thinking.

 

Another one of my problems is the time because no matter how good I am in a subject, or how much I may understand something, I really don't trust the answers I put down. This is only made worse when I finding something easy, so on the math section I find it much more annoying since I find most of the questions stupidly easy and I end up looking at some of the questions and think, this can't be it can it?

 

Also speaking of 800s this one kid in my school got one on, I think, the reading part of his SAT. Over all his score was like a 2140 or 2240 (can't remember which). A lot of the other kids in my school though got things like from 1300-1500.

[Dark]

My school is, for the most part, above average. Our average SAT scores clock in at around 1700, compared to 1400 and 1500 in other schools.

First time I took it I scored a 2200 and i had to take it again couse it was to low to be considered at my dream collage

Freakin MIT admittance standards

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

In my school, we get PSAT (Preliminary version of them) in Fall and later in April, we get the real thing.

 

In terms of scoring, I am not sure but we're encouraged to score high

I think I speak for everyone when I say: Pics or it didn't happen.

[Dweller of Parables]

This test means everything but means nothing in reality.

I got a decent score.
