What did you guys get on the SAT? I know this is a questioned destined to breed insecurity and circlejerking, but i'm honestly interested in how well the average /lit/izen performs on dry, logic-based, academic tests. If you don't remember, don't sweat it; highschool was---hopefully---a long time ago. I would encourage you guys to fight over the validity of the SAT, but that's an inevitability assuming this thread gets off the ground.

Was National Merit Scholar, went to a breddy gud school to major in a STEM field and study /lit/ stuff as much as possible.

The SAT isn't everything, and the writing section is so bogus that no admissions office uses it for anything. On the other hand, I'm legit ashamed of myself for getting less than a perfect score on the math section because those problems are hardly high-level stuff. The SAT's usefulness is all about making sure your grades aren't a fluke, really. If your scores match your grades, curriculum and your school/region's reputation, then that's all the admissions people want to see most of the time. Occasionally, strong SAT scores can help a sympathetic admissions officer make a case for a student with weaker grades but strengths in other parts of the application, so I'd argue that they can potentially contribute to getting more, rather than less interesting people into the student body if used judiciously. My admissions info is from a friend who works in the admissions office for an excellent private university.

Anyways, sick and with no preparation I still made a 30, which pissed me off cause I know I could have made a 32 in normal conditions, but everyone encouraged me to not spend the $90 to retake it because a 30 would be more than enough for any college I would be capable of getting into.

What Captain Obvious pointed out here >>6981645 is pretty much true. Although it's not really about talent so much as hard work from what I can gather. Which makes sense - if I couldn't be arsed preparing for their interview process how well would I do with their more intense workload?

It doesn't really matter that much though. I've accomplished more than the two people I know who went to Cambridge, including teaching at Cambridge University. Unless you count a shitty middle management job and a year travelling with Daddy's money an accomplishment.

Don't feel bad, a lot of it is hype and bluster. Some friends I know went to Oxbridge (cassius gonville, Jesus and St John's) and a couple of them got into the Apostles. I was a bit surprised because if you took them outside of the walls of the academy they wouldn't be able to think their way out of a paper bag. Its sad to know that these people will be on the fast track to the elite given how little they can relate to everyday people or have no common sense. That said I am a little bit unimpressed with their Social Sciences departments that I turned down the opportunity to do my MPhil at Cambridge because the Prof I wanted to supervise my research went to leave for the US. Continental European and some Scottish universities seem to me a lot more meritocratic and more rigorous, so much so that I am trying to get a seat at Science Po, Strasbourg or Toulouse.

I scored 2360, which to me was surprising given my dismal school record: 2.9 gpa weighted, no honors classes, etc. My current standing as a physics major attending a local, decidedly unprestigious community college is proof that SAT scores alone-no matter how high-are insufficient in terms of being considered by a college board.

Evidence of motivation will always prevail over raw scores.

Frenchfag here. The Science Po admission is rather meritocratic, but it's expensive and for some reason it attracts mostly rich wankers from the upper-middle class and above.

Not to discourage you, it's an interesting school but get ready for loads of Parisians with scarves and a fetish for Sarkozy (as well as a few commies).

Yeah I know that. But they also have a very generous scholarship that will fund my study should i enrol (the Emily Boutmy scholarship).

I think those who got good scores are more inclined to post than those who didn't. This is a board filled with very smart, very insecure people. Therefore, if they did well on the SAT, they'll flaunt it to validate themselves, and if they did poorly, they write the test off as meaningless and won't post, fearing that bullies will confirm their insecurities.
My point is that you're a smart guy and you should ignore the test-taking masters and those pretending to be (you'd be amazed what ego can do even in anonymity). 30 should be good enough for just about anybody- assuming you aren't Bobby Fischer or some shit.

recent high school grad here, from my experience it's pretty hard for most semi affluent white people (i.e. average /lit/ poster) to score below a 1650 or so. also, 2/3's of the test is reading and writing so the test plays into this board's strengths.

Took it once without studying and ended up with 1970. Figured I'd take it again after studying a bit, so I forgot all about that and just took it again and got 2000. Not like it matters a lick since I went to a state school in GA anyway, lol.

1. Stress free. I took the SAT first and I knew 1910 was pretty good so I figured the ACT didn't matter too much. I remember taking it bobbing my head along to some songs that kept floating through my head (Built to Spill, Death Grips, and something else i think) while everyone else was terrified and the dude behind me was hyperventilating

My test scores are uninteresting, I think I got a 32 on the ACT and I didn't take the SAT.

However, my sister with nonverbal learning disorder got 35s on the ACT math and science sections and a 2 on the reading section. We received a letter in the mail because they were investigating her for cheating. After contacting her doctor and getting back the test to look at how she did on a question by question basis, we found out she got every question about literary fiction incorrect, and did perfectly on the one reading that came from a biography. To my sister, a flower is a fucking flower and doesn't represent anything else than being a flower, and a house being painted yellow means nothing.

My sister is also incapable of reading body language and can't tell if a person is happy, sad, or mad.
