I scored 20% on Verbal than on math. But I fail to see the point of this thread.

[Logan]

This should include a "when" also. I have a brother and sister 10 and 7 years older than me, respectively, and when I was preparing for it I looked at a couple of their old books and it was definitely harder back then, especially in verbal (the antonym analogies sucked).

I think i got about a 1230(old old scoring) and a 24 ACT maybe(i forget)

20% better on verbal than on math.

Maybe we've got someone who got a 2400. That would be exciting as I don't think I know anyone with a perfect score on the new test.

[Coffee Warlord]

Took the ACT, never took the SAT. If memory serves, I had a 29 on the ACT.

Gives everyone a reason to lie.

I'll deviate a second and post what is one of my favorite Seinfeld exchanges of all time:


George: I've been lying about my SAT scores for 15 years.
Jerry: What did you get?
George: What did I get or what do I say I got?
Jerry: What do you say?
George: I say 1409.
Jerry: 1409, that's a good score.
George: You're telling me.
Jerry: What did you really get?
George: You're my friend?
Jerry: Of course.
George: I tell you everything, right?
Jerry: I hope so.
George: Well...this I take to the grave.

[DataKing]

So we're comparing intellectual e-peen's now eh? :D

SAT was 1270 (590 math, 680 verbal)
ACT was 33 (31 science, the other 3 sections were each 33)

Yes, I know those two scores are completely incongruous.

[Ksyrup]

I think I got an 1150 on the SAT and a 31 on the ACT. I know I did much better, percentage-wise, on the ACT.

[Tigercat]

990 as a 7th grader in 93-94
1280 as a 10th grader in 96-97

Didn't take it again since most Southern schools used the ACT back then. SAT verbal kicked my ass more than most verbals, because SAT is the one standardized test one should ideally study some for, and I was never one to crack open a book for studying.

Edit, ACT was either a 28 or 29, I don't remember. All that mattered was that the English score was enough to get me college credit at LSU.

I think that's around what I got. Like 680/590 or something. Back in 1993 middle of my junior year, I should have taken it when I was a senior as well, but wasn't going to go to a Uni so I didn't feel the need to retake something that wouldn't help me get into a community college.

Never studied for organized tests, not at all a fan of them and felt my grades and activities in high school spoke for themselves.

[Radii]

990 as a 7th grader in 93-94

Didn't take it again since most Southern schools used the ACT back then.

What? I applied to UNC-Chapel Hill and Georgia Tech in 1995 and had applications for Duke, MIT, Carnegie Mellon(last two not south obviously) that I never bothered to send in after getting early acceptance to Georgia Tech. All took the SAT. I never took the ACT b/c I was told that unless I was applying to schools in the midwest/further out west than that it was pointless.

[Eaglesfan27]

1989 (9th grader) - 1420.

1990 (10th grader) - 1520 (800 on math, 720 verbal.) I think studying for the SAT's when I was in 9th grade was one of the smartest choices I ever made as they were definitely a main factor in my admission to the Resident Honors Program/Trustee Scholar Program at USC.

[SportsDino]

800 Math, 630 Verbal, 1430 Total (1999)
Had the worst testing location with enough disturbances I did not complete the verbal.

ACT 34 (forget the subscores, lowest was 31, highest 36 math)

As long as we are wasting time, 1510 GRE (800 math, 710 verbal)

Tests don't seem a very good measure of intelligence anyway, for the most part good test taking strategy (and practice of course) accounts for as much or more than the ability to solve problems.

I'm talking about the REAL south! ;) LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Florida all preferred the ACT then I think; (Florida may have been equal) and Texas and Rice were ok with ACT scores.

If I had the grades for Rice or for a near free ride at Texas I probably would have focused on the SAT as a senior.

[Schmidty]

1534.



Shit, wait. That's my dick size in millimeters!!!!

Huh, I didn't know that. Georgia Tech obviously accepted the SAT since I ended up getting accepted there, but I didn't apply to any other schools in those states.

oh yeah, also, 800 math, 500 verbal.

Maybe we should have a "How much do you make" thread...

[gstelmack]

Bah. I got the highest score in my county on the science exam (one of the specialty exams given out along with the SAT) where I completely SWAGged 50% of the answers. These tests are easy if you know how to eliminate answers from the multiple choice and figure out which one of the other two is more likely even if you don't know much about the subject (which is why standardized tests are stoopid).

[Autumn]

I have no problem reliving glories of yesteryear. My SAT score was one of the only good things to come out of my junior year, and if I had been wiser I would have ridden it to a full scholarship.

This. The first couple of years at NC State roughed me up something good because my lazy high school habits carried over (that and the internet started getting big right as I got to college...Doom Deathmatch FTW!).

Oh, and 1350 (680 math, 670 verbal), BTW.

unsure why anyone would create such a thread, but I replied b/c no one was making a big deal about it. So if someone was curious, I'm not ashamed nor overly proud of anything like this, so I answered. Might as well have asked "what state do you live in?" I really don't care where most people live, but if someone asks, I'll answer.

[MacroGuru]

Scored a 29 on my ACT without studying the Saturday morning after my 18th birthday with a hangover and 2 hours asleep. It was more than enough to get me into the universities I wanted to go to.

[BishopMVP]

These tests are easy if you know how to eliminate answers from the multiple choice and figure out which one of the other two is more likely even if you don't know much about the subject (which is why standardized tests are stoopid).Yeah, I somehow got an 800 on the SATII (World History) I know I got the most questions wrong on. And a 750 on the Math SATII when I failed Calculus in HS and got 470 when I took a pre-test. Plus you know, I scored a 1370 my first time, then a 1540 iirc when I was hungover the 2nd time, but it's been 5 years and I don't have a college degree yet, so I'm quite certain that once you reach a minimum threshold (~1000 or so) motivation and drive matter much more than IQ, let alone SAT scores.Maybe we've got someone who got a 2400. That would be exciting as I don't think I know anyone with a perfect score on the new test.I thought the new test essentially just added/required the SATII writing exam, which most good colleges required/recommended, to the math and verbal scores.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Not sure why anyone would post in the thread if they're not going to reveal scores or reply to someone who did. Anyway, I took the ACT instead of the SAT. I scored a 31 on the ACT, and that was actually dragged down by the 19 I got on the math portion. That's my damn GED education at work.

[Schmidty]

Not sure why anyone would post in the thread if they're not going to reveal scores or reply to someone who did.

Pumpsy. You of all people shouldn't question a person posting in a thread they have no interest in contributing to. And I don't mean that as meanly as it sounds. :)

All I'm gonna say is that Wang's ERA is higher than my SAT score.

But not by much.

[Cringer]

Honestly can't remember my score. It was either 1190 or 1290, the 90 is the only part I remember. I want to say for sure it was 1290, but I ended up dropping out of school shortly after and 4 years later was a truck driver so it was probably 1190.

Georgia has always been an SAT state. ACT test takers are at an all time high in the last five years (20-25K a year) and are less than half of the number of SAT takers.

I think. There is chance it might have been 1280. I was lucky to score that high on the verbal, but I probably could have scored higher on the math on at least one of the three times I took it if I had studied for it more.

Glad to know there is someone else out there like me. I did well on the ACT but took the SAT once and that score is going to my grave like Costanza.

There were schools I could have gotten a free ride from based on my ACT score who probably wouldn't have let me in based on my SAT score. Just something about the test and my personality that didn't mesh.

[ntndeacon]

think it was a 1440 for sat and 30 for act

[Izulde]

FWIW, I did terrible on the ACT (27) my junior year after getting a 26 in 8th grade.

Man, I -hated- the ACT.

[GoldenEagle]

I made a 22 on the ACT, which is the lowest score in this thread. Either FOFC is full of geniuses or most people on here are bull shitting. I am voting for the latter.

I'm shocked no one has made a "Post Your Social Security Number" thread yet.

I wouldn't quite say that it's BS either. It's kind of like the self-selected group who writes into the notes section of alumni magazines. People typically write about the fantastic successes they've achieved, they're not going to write into one of those things to announce that they got fired for surfing the web for midget porn or whatever...

I would also argue, and this is without a doubt self serving, that text simmers are going to be smarter than the population as a whole to begin with.

[Danny]

My real answer is I never took the SAT's or ACT's. My parents separated and I moved around a lot starting in high school and ended missing just about all four years of high school as I got two years behind and then I just dropped out. It was tough at the time, but can't say I regret it now. I couldn't be happier with where my life is and I know all my experiences happened for a reason and helped make me into the person I am.

"Dear Alumni Magazine,

You never post letters like the one I sent in last month about my great job with Chicken Shack where I was fired for watching midget porn on breaks. Or what about 3 months ago where I made our local news. I thought someone with the fame of the 'Phantom Masturbator' would be a great inspiration to our future graduates. Or how about my expose about the 5 years I just finished serving at one of our government's other fine institutions. Why do you never include these letters?"

1050 (dont remember the breakdown) as a 7th grader as part of some Duke University TIP program our school participated in.
1560 as a senior in 1996 (800 verbal 760 math)

Took once, my HS guidance counselor tried to get me to take it again swearing I could get a perfect score....
I just remember thinking why?
BTW for degree of difficulty, I took it the morning after a state playoff game that went into like 5 OTs. We got home after 3AM and the test site was an hour away the next AM....I also broke my foot in the game and took the test with one shoe off

LOL I only wish that was all a joke.

[sterlingice]

I remember the TIP program. I did that, too, and took the SAT in 7th grade. And if you got nationally recognized- which was like 1000- so a lot of us did, you had to pay airfare and accommodations to be "recognized" out there. So we decided that was kindof a racket and not worth it.

Missed you by 1 year then. stumbled into trojan hall in 1997. And although a lot of people i knew in the program were rather bitter about it, based on your comments, i'd say also say it was a great opportunity.

[Glengoyne]

1220...580 in one, 640 in the other. I can't really recall which was higher.

The first time I took it, I scored 1160 or so. I was so disappointed, I took it again. I really felt I was 1200 material, I guess.=)
