i take the damn thing tomorrow morning, im off to sleep and i'll let you all know how it fares... im not looking forward to it, but i am looking forward to the ACT.... ciao

I know nobody will believe me in here but I scored a 1300+ on my SAT. The funny thing was that my high school was going to keep me back because my GPA was like a 2.0 or something. I never ever did anything in high school except party and drive nice cars. Once I got into college I really straightened out....I guess we all grow up.

Oh and by the way...I didn't bring a calculator to my SAT test because I forgot so I did all the calculations by hand manually. Talk about not fair when everybody else had theirs. But like I said, I never cared in high school so who would have thought to bring a calculator for SATS. I'm really really really good in Math though. I remember when I came to the USA in 4th grade I scored the highest in my school on our STATE MATH test and I didn't speak a word of English. Most of the crap you guys do in 4th grade is the same thing they teach you in preschool in other countries.


Anyway, good luck on the SATs. They are fairly simple.

SAT? Bah, I never bothered to take it.

I'm a mechanic, who needs to know how smart I am? I've never been unemployed for more than a week since I was 16. It's not very difficult to find a good paying job in this field if you have the brawn and brains to get the job done.

Kamil, what country are you from?

POLAND....came here when I was 10 in 1992.

The SAT is a joke, don't get stressed. You can take it again, really nobody cares about or remembers there score when they get out of HS.

I think I stayed up real late the night before watching a movie or something. I only took it once, I don't really remember my score, it was in the 1200 range. What I do remember quite well is scoring near perfect on the English part. The math part killed me.

This surprised me because I can't spell and hated english class, go figure.

GPA is usually more important. Different schools weight things differently. My GPA wasn't all that hot, but I still got into a theatre tech program here at Ithaca College where only 1 in 20 are accepted, since they look at talent and potential more than your previous record. I even got a sizable scholarship for my talents in theatre technology.

I can't remember what I got on the new SAT, but I did get a 30 on the ACT, which isn't bad at all.

just got back from taking them then commuting home(stoped at an auto salvage yard... a frign 6.3 is sitting on blocks with the engine.. complete and euros)... but yea, its my third time taking it .. and i havent gotten good scores... barely 1000 on it... im taking the ACT in two weeks and then probably again, the ACT so ive been told is easier... ive got good grades a 3.89 GPA all honors and AP classes... but i cant get a good score on the SAT...

this is what one of my professors told me about GPA and SATs....

GPA depends on how much work you put in...if you do your homework, show up to your classes and act like you care it will be high. You can be smart and have a low GPA because you refuse to do work.

SATs actually show how much you know. I scored higher on my SATs than most of the geeks I used to make fun of in band, AP classes and honor. Why is that?


I'm sure you did fine though.

i hope so... its just when i take a test like the SAT ill study or brush up on it and then i blank out when i take it..

plus i take the AP/Honors classes because i get bored in the regular classes.

You're not suppose to study for these things...go in as if you don't give a **** and you'll do better.

i havent studied for the ACT.. perhaps i should find a friend and toke up or something


tell you what, i took the asvab to get out of class and scored a 86... and according to all of the recruiters and other soldiers with that score i can do what ever i want in the military... so ive got something to fall back on incase i dont go to college

Sometimes I contemplate the military as well. I still get phone calls from various people but now it's mostly about being some higher position as opposed to a field soldier. Not sure what that means or what it entitles but next time the NAVY calls I'm going to ask questions.

Speak of NAVY. Rutgers spanked them 34-0 today. We are 6-0 as we speak. :fork_off:

i wouldnt be a field soldier so ive been told, hell the national guard guy offered me to be a radar tech.. sit in a control tower and watch the blips on the screen.. the navy guy offered me to sit in a sub doing the same.. air force says i can sit in a plane and do it... i wouldnt mind being a lifer in the air force..

I took an SAT prep class back in HS, insted of a study hall. I feel that it helped and was worth the time.

Maybe if your school offers one give it a try.

Don't stress about it, in the overall scheme of things its not important.
