SAT's

[DogOfHavoc]

Who's taken them? I took them 3 times and got my results today. I got a 2210 and I'm pretty happy. How'd everyone else do?

I know the SAT is an exam. How is it scored? I really don't get an abstact number like 2210.

(I'm from Canada land we have diploma exams instead.)

It's scored out of 2400.

I know the SAT is an exam. How is it scored? I really don't get an abstact number like 2210.

(I'm from Canada land we have diploma exams instead.)

The highest possible score you can get is a 2400, the lowest possible score you can get is 600.

There are 3 sections(Math, Reading, Writing), 800 possible points in each section. You get 200 points in each section merely for getting your name correct (Thus 600 free points).

The Average SAT score is 1500.

I personally did not take the SAT, i took the ACT.
I scored a 25 on the ACT.
The act is out of 36.
The average ACT score is 21.
The ACT covers English, math, reading, science, and writing.

PS: Good Job Havoc :thup:

When I heard of SATs, I thought we are going to "sit" there until finishing the tests, and then we get our scores after we "sat" through one or two month.

But the calculation is very complex. No one knows how to accurately calculate the scoring without some papers telling you how to do it.

1590. Most annoying test of my life, can't see how anyone can sit through it twice or even worse, three times.

 

[ElderKingpin]

its not exactly hard. the only time i failed to finish it in time, was when i almost passed out from lack of sleep

In the UK, we do SATS three times in our school life times, though it seems they're getting removed slowly but surely.

First in year 3, then year 6, then year 9.
It's in Science, English and Maths, and we get levels.

Different stuff.

 

[Tru_Power22]

Out test's are out of 50. We have one for science, English, math and social. I don't know why the SAT's are so overcomplicated.

 

[ElderKingpin]

because if it was simple, people would get high scores by knowing nothing

I think he's talking about the scoring system...

And the SAT, like many other things that are "necessary" in life, is just a money making scam.

Imo ACT is easier then the SAT. I got like a 16xx on the PSAT but like a 34 or something on the P-ACT.

Your parents do. Or it could be funded by your school expenses.

Yeah, I was talking about the scoring system. Not the tests.

1200th post.

 

[tom_mai78101]

You pay to get a score?

 

[Tru_Power22]

No, the diplomas are free as far as I'm aware (Could be part of school fees though).
