Just took the SAT...
 
It sucked, tho it really wan't that hard. I still didn't enjoy it. Anyone else taking it soon? Anyone already taken it?

congrats on getting it over with. No, I didn't take it, wish I would've, I did well on the PSAT...

I've always wondered what the SAT is like. I had to take the ACT. It was boring and draining. I managed to do well on the Reading and English sections but not so well on the Science Reasoning, and pretty average on the Math.

Congrats! I never took the SAT; I did the ACT. I always wished I would have done the SATs, because the science reasoning on the ACT killed my score. :rolleyes: I hate standardized tests.

I took psat when a softmore, so I hadn't had that much math, and I don't remember my actual numbers, but my percentiles were like, 95th percentile verbal, 78th math... :shocked: :laugh:

Just took them today like you. It was torture, my back hurt afterwards and yeah the actual tes was tough too considering I haven't taken Math in years.

Yeah, the math wasn't good for me. I actually thought the ACT was a southern thing or something, since everyone everywhere else seems to talk about the SATs. So, what's the difference? Do some university's only accept the SAT? Anyway, I made a 25 on the ACT and I'm still beating myself up about it. My score would've been higher if I'd done better than a 19 in Math. :rolleyes: I too hate standardized tests.

Sooooooo, should we take that as an indication of your elusive age?

In IL, we took the ACTs. You could take the SAT if you were really dying to do so. :rolleyes: But the colleges I applied to required the ACT.

I got a 20 on the science reasoning and a 21 on the math. :( I think my composite was a 25 as well. I was kind of pissed about it. The GRE knocked me into the next zip code. :laugh:

oooh you kids all have to take the NEW SATs don't you? now it has three sections for a total possible score of 2400? that sucks....

i took the old regular SATs the morning of prom, with bronchitis so i was coughing and sniffling and sneezing all through the test... the kids around me were so annoyed- but nothing could be done... i was miserable... and NONE of us went out partying late after prom... we were so beat.... i still managed a 1290 though... 690 math and 600 verbal or something like that... then i took them again to see if i could do better- i was totally healthy- got enough sleep and then only got a 1220. go figure!

I took the SAT last month and just got the results. I got five hundred something on the math, five hundred something on the reading and six hundred something on the writing. I thought I did much better but oh well! Maybe I will take it again over the summer.

I hated the test though! It was ten sections long and took hours upon hours! I was ready to die! It sounds like you didn't enjoy it either!

I don't have to take it until next year so I'm sort of lucky I wasn't the guinea pig class.

On a side note, a junior in my school got a perfect score (2400).
