Created the abomination that was Lucunt.
Lolz at all these scores that go up to 2400. Back in my day, we only could score a maximum of 1600 which *cough* I did. :) I 36'ed up the ACT too. Such a prodigy :wub:

The test is cake. Kids nowadays never read so they fail at the reading section. I never read in high school, but my nerdy elementary days paid off. :hee

Good luck with your SAT.

As everyone already said, the tests are much easier than you'd expect. I don't know why it is made out to be such a big deal.

I loved taking aptitude tests when in school. My grades were never that great, due to serious issues at home & the fact that I worked 40+ hours a week while I was in HS. Yet, I always aced all tests. Most of it is common sense & logic.

I took the ACT, SAT & ASVAB (because a couple of my BFFs were planning on going into the military, so we all took it together). Big mistake, because once I took the test, I had all four branches of the military calling & sending literature to me. There is no way I am cut out for military. :lol:

My best friend was class valedictorian & she was so mad at me because I scored higher than her on all the tests. I think she psyched herself out, because she was studying like a maniac before the tests.

To be fair, most people are pretty dumb. :popcorn

The average scores on these tests boggle my mind.

My essay was quite possibly the most cliched thing ever written.


I think I did pretty well on math, but I had brain malfunctions on some things, like min/max....

But the English, oh GOD. I haven't done a grammar test in the last two years, so I did so bad on that part...there was obvious stuff but then I just had no idea what was wrong with it, and I knew some of them had to have something wrong with them since I had a nice number I was confused on(Like, not a lot but like...10 across all the sections).

Pretty sure I did pretty legit on the reading sections though, except the last fill in the blank in each section I didn't know(I guessed on like one of the 3 and skipped the other 2)....

Worst 5 hours of my life. And its not even that it was hard, its just your so damn tired at the end of it you just want it to be over. I just picked whatever sounded right for the 10 minute section, I wanted to go. I'll take it again after New Years if I do horrible.

If they don't want cliche essays they shouldn't have cliche topics. Mine last year was "do people get along better with someone who is similar to or different from them?" :ew

All you have to do for grammar for the most part is pick the thing that sounds correct and it probably is. Thats how I aced that part. Unless you're from the south that might not work. :lol:

Yeah the main problem with it is that is so damn long and early on a saturday. You feel like shit afterwords. Go have fun today!

I forgot to take work off today. I leave in 6 minutes. :alien I'm legit scared that if I talk about the essay topic they'll find it and like cancel my scores, but it was stupid. I get my scores in like 2 weeks so I'll post it then.

And if I just pick the one that sounds right its probably wrong because where I live everyone says 'they' when they mean 'he or she' and dangling prep phrases galore, which there seemed to be a lot of on it.

I hate how I don't like to leave shit blank, I know its smarter to leave it blank if you don't know it but I feel more dumb leaving it blank then getting it wrong.

The only positive of the day was my ride and I got those Frappes at McDonald's beforehand. :wub:

SAT is a joke.

I've been reading one of those SAT word dictionaries all day.

I know half of them, but the other half just make my brain hurt and I can't remember them D:

The English part was so easy for me. :shrug Seriously, all you have to have done to do well on that part is have read a book or two. Sadly, a lot of people DONT read a book or two.

I didn't stress out for them the first time because I took Latin which really does help, but my math score was lower than I wanted.  So I took a math prep class and took them again.  My math score went down and my verbal went up  :blink:

Latin helping <333333333333

Those tests are ridic easy. Everyone whines about how hard they are but they aren't if you have any brains at all. GTS is filled with smarties I guess.  :wub:

Agreed on the English portion. But the math part gave me trouble. I mean I got pretty good scores but I usually ended up with a few problems I never even got to get to. I hate that the math part is timed. Math is a subject you should be able to take your time with.

I took Latin! Like...3 years ago. I forgot most of it, well, anything that's not in Spanish. >_> I could totally conjugate a verb still though.

And the Reading wasn't hard, the Grammar part of the writing was hard. D:

I'm with everyone else here in proclaiming the SATs as completely overrated. But then again, I think the GTS crowd is just generally a more intelligent, articulate group of people then your standard high school classroom. :lbf

I got a 2330 altogether (1550 on Math/Reading). I took it twice simply because I missed only one question on the Math section the first time around, and it pissed me off and fucked with my anal retentiveness and I wanted to get a perfect score. I missed one question on Math again the second time I took it. :eyes

I totally bombed the SATII for Spanish, though. I had to take three subject tests for applications to good schools, and while I did fine on Literature and Calculus or whatever it was, I got, like, a 620 on Spanish. :lawl

ETA: I'm so excited for the LSATs, by the way. Not only am I great at standardized tests, but the LSATs are basically a test of logic, reasoning, and writing prowess, which is basically a description of my strongest skill set. :lbf

ETA2: Also, I end every one of my paragraphs with an emoticon. :shifty
