My SAT was... umm, about 2140? Something like that. Though it ultimately didn't matter. I ended up transferring to UC San Diego from a community college, and SAT scores don't mean shit at that point... And how the hell does that ACT work? It's like a foreign language you guys are talking here...

I got like a 20 on my ACT, I didn't study at all, and I slept through half the test. I just figured I take it again when I was actually prepared.

ACT has five tests: Reading, English, Writing, Mathematics, and Science. All of them are scored out of 36, but it isn't like, "Miss 1, you're at 35. Miss 2, you're at 34." Sometimes, it can be, "Miss one, you're at 34. Miss 2 more, you're at 33."


It's very convoluted. All I know is, I got a 35 on math, my least favorite subject, and a 28 on reading, which is usually my best.

The ACT is a "bullshitting in multiple choice" aptitude test.

That too.

I'd be more critical of it if I didn't completely destroy it like I did.

A buddy of mine got a 36. Probably the smartest person I know.

EDIT: Also, in the midwestern United States, a majority of the schools don't require you to take the SAT, just the ACT, which is a less-credible exam, if I'm not mistaken.

actually i hear the SAT is getting a bad rep now from the colleges since its more based on how much money u have for classes/how many times u take it (collegeboard seems to be promoting multiple retakes with that new Score Choice thing)

I don't think anyone disputes the fact that SATs are a load of bull.  Pretty sure that's why essays and GPA are becoming more important, with SATs acting as more of a small bonus or penalty to applicants.

couldnt remember my ACT score, but it was around 20-30.

Dont worry about it, the ACT isnt as important as they make it out to be.

I can agree with half of this statement, but my recommendation would be that you absolutely worry about it.  We're talking about four years of your life; get it right.  Stress now so you can relax later.

24, highest was English/Reading.

Edit: Also, I forgot to mention something. I didn't study, there isn't really a point. You just have to be competent.

22 or 23

I took it almost 10 years ago...but it was one of those.

I never took the SAT.

When I took it the national average was something like 16...so ya a 15...not good. I scored in the upper 20s in English and Social Studies, but my Math was like 13-15...I am, and always will be, terrible at math.

I don't understand what these points are or how they rate, what is good and what is bad etc.


However, I got a Tertiary Entrance Ranking of 90.6, meaning that my university entrance score was higher than 90.6% of all year 12 graduates.
