But I agree, it's a stupid test. My first score was something like 1200, so you'll get better if you take it more.


Just shows how little it's got to do with intelligence IMO. I took the test, not knowing anything about it until 2 months before the test. Bought some prep. books and started with ridiculous scores like 520 (math). Having learned the technique and the types of questions ( the exact wording since english aint my mother tongue) I improved up to 730 but scored lousy 690 on the test day. (I wont mention the poor 550 on the verbal part, where i just could catch up all the necessary vocabulary. oops i just did ) It's just a way to earn money on the one hand (books, courses etc.) and save time on the other hand (why look at the individual achievements of each applicant when u got those beautiful numbers?). Oh well....I guess I'm just fed up having gone through this tireseome process (including TOEFL and SAT2s) and receiving one NO after another. I should have gone straight to some UNI here, wothout wasting time, money and nerves

mine was 1385: 750 verbal, 635 math ( i took it 4 yrs ago but still the pain lingers) i knew i was lousy in math (still am) so i got some of those SAT review books (from the library) and practiced ALOT. that really helped, knowing how the questions were structured. i prolly could have done better but only needed a 1200 to get into the uni of my choice, LOL.

can someone scan or help me find an example scoresheet? Me and my dad have looked all over my results sheet and (i swear) the only numbers i see are 1600. i really doubt this, considering i was sick on the day of the test, but i have recieved A LOT (and i'm talking maybe 22-34) letters from colleges all around the united states. 1600? no way

On those sheets you never see the scores of both tests added up. It's shown seperately
looks like this

SAT1 Reasoning Test....Score........Score Range......percentiles

Verbal................. XXX.........xyz - zyx..........xy%

I'm with you buddy ... 760 verbal and 670 math. I hate math ... I still count with my fingers and toes.

combine math and verbal scores

isnt it true that your final SAT score is your best math + your best verbal? out of all the scores youve taken it
thats pretty cool
why not study for Math? and get like 800 on math and like 200 on verbal just focus on math
next test focus on verbal
wont that be alot easier?

Yes technically you list your best verbal and your best math ... I wouldn't advise studying for one and not the other though. I thing your test scores are released to the university and I think something like that might catch their eye.

some schools take the best of each and some average your scores (if you take it a couple times).
