In New York? NO. They just mail the scores out. They don't tell you anything about the scores.

And you didn't want to figure what that score meant? Your parents didn't ask you what you got?

Of course they did. Theyu thought that it was a good score. As for what it means, I just wanted to get it over with. I wanted to know and then I didn't want to know.

It was a rather spontaneous decision, on my part, void of any comprehensible logic beyond the fact that I was merely bored out of my bloody mind at that moment. So anyway~ judging by my personal comprehension of Scholastic related material, I guestimate (lOl) that I'll probably score anywhere between 1500-1900. Admittedly, it's not a very high score, and at current (after the thought considerations) I have absolutely no intention of studying for it because I am wondering exactly how I'll do with no preparation what so ever =P

In any case~ Just to make a point out of all this~ firstly, to those who have taken the Scholastic Assessment Thing-a-ma-bob, how did you score? Compared to how well you expected your score to be? Your personal opinions as to how accurate of an assessment it is to your scholarly knowledge?

Secondly, to those that aspire to take the Scholastic Assessment Thing-a-ma-jig, are you currently preparing for it? Do you have any expectations of what your score might be? If so~ please relate any and all relevant information into this thread so that it might survive past a couple pages or so =P

Hmm... I think I might actually go to college after this thing is over xDD

OH and btw, my test is supposed to be on the 10th of Oct. o.o'

P.S.

ACT = Fail =P
but if you have intentions of taking that one....
by all means >.>''' if anyone cares....
relate that.... if anyone cares
=P

Do you take the ACT?

[seiki]

We werent required to take them but I took both. The SAT was easier I thought because the test was about knowledge and not your test taking abilites.

I didn't score as high as I wanted....
Math 650
Reading 660
Writing 640

combined 1950 ....

Math 1 Sat2 680
Chem Sat2 790

I wanted 700's... always some excuse... I was sick the third time I took the SAT... and the third test is statistically shown to be the one you do best on..
First time = try really hard
Second time = cocky because of scores first time = bad performance
Third time = gotta make up for terrible performance in second try...

No. We have to take EOG's (End of grade tests) in 9th, 10th, and 11th. If you do not pass the EOG's, you do not proceed to the next grade. And senior year is a little bit different.

The SAT is a a test for College admission...it's supposed to see if you are "ready for college"...it's not an EOC, EOG, or Final Exam....which was I *think* you're talking about...maybe not though
