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 :p ) 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 :sadgreen: |

| 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% |

| 13 something... i forget. it was years ago, before they started adjusting the scores. i can't remember if the new system is easier or harder though. i did much better in math. |

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). |
