1410.
stupid test by the way - it should not be used. sat score is something like the 4th best predictor of how well you will do in college but some colleges/universities use it like it is gold. |

1420.
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. |

| look for a princeton review course and/or book. they promise that your score will go up. they teach you how to take the test, which is much more important than what is on the test and if you know it. |

1460 or 1480, something like that. Don't remember quite well though, I took that 4 years ago. I'm glad I did well, I bet that was one of the main factors that got me into a great school.
Now I'm getting ready for the LSATs :nervous: |

| The SAT, a three-hour test, measures verbal and mathematical reasoning skills students have developed over time and skills they need to be successful academically. Many colleges and universities use the SAT as one indicator among others-class rank, high school GPA, extracurricular activities, personal essay, and teacher recommendations-of a student's readiness to do college-level work. SAT scores are compared with the scores of other applicants, and the accepted scores at an institution, and can be used as a basis for awarding merit-based financial aid. |

Thanks. I'm really not that worried because the LSAT is just a reasoning, logic, reading comprehension test and you can't really study much for that.
Now for the MCAT and the GRE you actually have to apply what you've learned in college. I'm still considering whether to do grad school instead, but law school seems much more convenient in the long run. |
