Hey guys, so I got my scores back yesterday and I made a score of 1240.  I was dissapointed, but none the less I will be taking it again in September, to be more specific:

 

Math: 350

Critical Reading: 440

Writing:  450

 

As for my essay: on a scale from 2-12, I got a five. One reader gave me a 2 and the other gave me a three.  And yes I did find the test difficult. 

what is a SAT test?

It's a US collage readyness test (I think), I'm in 9th grade and I'm not good about all that shit.

Haha. 

Man, for the whole holidays I didn't touch LCPDFR, I would always sit down and do Maths every day, I would revise through all my notes when the test is 3 weeks away, and I came back with 83%. Not amazing, but a great jump from 58%. Seriously, just dedicate yourself and it works amazing :D I also greatly improved my grades, with two A* and nine As. (My reward: A gaming PC :D)

Not too shabby, Chester!

I would suggest to take it earlier than September, so you have more chances to improve; however, it's more important to feel prepared than to have more chances, so the choice is up to you. 

 

What I find is best is to:

• Make a daily or weekly schedule for yourself; in terms of studying
• Find your weaknesses by ordering a test report, that tells you what you got right and wrong, allowing you to focus on what needs to be improved
• Put out all other distractions while studying: no forum posts, email, etc.

Good luck to you on future assessments!

Not too bad dude. When I took my SAT I got like a score of 900. I did horrible, absolutely horrible on the maths portion of the testing. Good thing you don't need an SAT score for the military, though the ASVAB is remotely similar.

I'm still confused on why you posted that here on LCPD:FR. Not that you can't, just seems a little random...

Just so everyone knows, the maximum on the SAT is a 2400....

2160 for me... although 800 of it was writing.

 

I swear I don't know how

We don't have SAT here, I think we have our own state made test (Alabama). I usually do very well on it, though, but don't know my exact score. We're starting them next week.

I've never understood FL's testing systems, i went to a school, and they called our state tests SAT's.. lol.. i was in like 5th grade at the time, so i doubt they are the same. (Apparently i scored high enough on that to get some letter from Duke University asking me to go there for some program.. never went though lol)


But nice job mom (the roleplaying game is still strong)

Jesus, I remember the SATs. So glad I'm done with that shit, but then you have the GREs to worry about if you want to go to grad school, so it never ends!

Depends on the kind of grad school; as I understand it, if you're going for a Ph.D, GREs are normally more of a box to tick and what really matters is recommendations.
