| Well, I have one, in about an hour.
Wish me luck, eh? And anybody else have to take 'em this year? |

| I'm long done with those. It's a little late now, but good luck, and don't stress out about 'em. | |||

Good luck. 
I took them last year, 1830. If I could go back, I'd study my vocabulary. That was a bitch. |

| I have no exams this year, thankfully. My film course has none of them.
Unfortunately, I'm very ill right now, therefore I'm missing all my lessons. Sucks. |

| Is 1830 good on the new scoring system? I have no idea. I got a 1360 on the old 1600 point system but I don't really know the difficulty of the new section on the 2400 point new test. | |||

| Nope. Never will have to take them, either; my Junior College stuff overrides that when it comes to getting into Colleges.
For what it's worth, I got near 99% on history in my Exit Exam. |

Wait, they changed it to a 2400 point scale?  Shows how out of touch I am. |

Originally posted by NSNick Originally posted by ||bass They rearranged the old sections and added a writing section. You can take a percentile of each score to compare them to some degree. 1360/1600 = 85% (New SAT equivilent = 2400 * .85 = 2040) 1830/2400 = 76.25% (Old SAT equivilent = 1600 * .7525 = 1204) Of course, with more questions you are less likely to luck out and get a set of questions you are familiar with, meaning that the new SAT scores will probably be a lower percentage of the total grade than the old ones, even if the people taking them are equal. Either score is pretty good, though. (EDIT: Post-script, I have realized that what I said here is EXTREMELY stupid. You are equally as likely to have good luck as bad luck. I am only not editing it out because it's much earlier in the thread than most people are looking now.) I just took the plain old SAT three times. Got an 1100, 1230, and a 1200. (My scores ended up as 600 Math and 630 Verbal.) Not stellar, but good enough to get to where I wanted to go, so I'm happy with it. Some people take all the SAT subject tests and ACT crap; I never bothered with any of that. (edited by witeasprinwow on 06-03-06 08:07 PM) (edited by witeasprinwow on 06-05-06 01:24 AM) |

| I did the worst on the writing portion. If you throw that out, I got a 1250. A little nicer.
Colleges didn't consider the writing score this year, I hope it's the same next year too. I don't know why it would be, but whatever. |

I don't have to take them anymore (thankfully), but I did really well on them. I won't post my scores unless you pester me to, though. 
Regarding SAT subject tests, I had to take at least 2 to get into MIT, but they really weren't all that much more difficult than the corresponding SAT sections. |

Originally posted by Kamek77 Ditto, except that I didn't get into MIT. (Math 2 is such an easy one... got an 800 on it. Got a 710 on the physics one, and a 700 on US history.) I never took the new SAT. It went into effect very shortly after I took the subject tests. (1410 on the original SAT, though. It's... decent.) |

| Well, I took it, and it really wasn't that bad.
Some of the vocab was evil, so whatever. Also, there was a few math questions that I missed. Not very much though. The time limits are actually something to be wary of, I didn't expect that. |

Originally posted by Yoshi Dude I got a 1250 too (on the old test 550 verbal and 700 math). That is a good score for many schools in california when I applied 4 years ago. I doubt it has gotten that much more competitive since then. |

| Ergh, wait! Kamek, I wanna know your scores if you managed to get into MIT! The guy who was ranked third in my entire class in high school sent in an application to MIT and they laughed at him, but I was ranked like 44th and only got a 1470 for mine (780 math, 690 verbal), and they came to me first. Needless to say, I never applied. I did a lot of stupid things back then... (edited by Grey on 06-04-06 09:30 AM) |

Originally posted by Grey ah yes, the randomness of college acceptance--scores don't tell the whole picture. I wonder what are the other things Kamek did and your friend did not do. I have heard people with 4.0s and insane SAT scores who were still rejected from places like Berkeley, MIT, and Stanford because they did not do anything else in their lives except studying. So, Kamek, what else did you do in high school? |

| I was president of our Chess Club, treasurer of National Honor Society, arts coordinator in Student Council, a member of the Academic Quiz Bowl and Decathlon teams, a member of the varsity golf team, a member of the county Teen Court (in which juvenile offenders are sentenced by a jury of peers), and I participated in the OU math competitions (of which I won one division). Also, I was a National Merit Scholar, Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and winner of the school's highest citizenship/scholarship award, the Hugh Bish award.
And that was just senior year. |

 Yeah, he did most of that too, plus was captain of the Boys' Cross Country team. Huh. Funny how that works. I guess he should have played me in chess more. |

| I just have to say... if people who did ALL of that still didn't get in, I don't feel so bad about having not gotten in myself. Not that I'd go, anyway... I rather value my AP credits, and MIT is INSANELY INSANELY expensive compared to where I'm going. |
