    Default (P)SAT/ACT/Every Single Other Test That is Available

    Hi. I decided to make a thread, but it needed a topic, so I decided on this one. For HS students, you should have received or be receiving your PSAT scores or SAT scores soon. Or your ACT scores, I guess. What did you score? And for non-HS students, what did you score when you took it?

    I got my PSAT scores back today.

    <b>Math: 80</b>
    You scored higher than 99% of juniors.
    You answered correctly 38 of 38 math questions.

    <b>Critical Reading: 67</b>
    You scored higher than 97% of juniors.
    You answered correctly 42 of 48 critical reading questions.
    IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS:
    -Understanding difficult vocabulary
    - Understanding sentences that deal with abstract ideas

    <b>Writing Skills: 73</b>
    You scored higher than 96% of juniors.
    You answered correctly 34 of 49 writing skills questions.

    National Merit Scholarship Corporation Programs
    Selection Index: 220
    Meet Eligibility Requirements for National Merit Scholarship Program: Yes

    I haven't taken an official SAT or ACT yet.

    Canadians can apparently take an LSAT, I have no idea what it stands for. I just saw a few study books in the bookstore today.
    I haven't taken any of those, as American schools are for suckers.

    SAT (1997)
    -Math: 760
    -Verbal: 730
    Score: 1490

    That's the only one I've ever taken.

    I scored a 26 overall on the ACT. I don't remember the specific breakdown as this was 8 years ago. I don't think I could repeat that if I were to take it today.

    ...What purpose would those serve? I'd think that even American schools would accept the normal exams we take.

    Anyway, we just have Diploma exams. I get to do six (!), none of which I have taken thus far. Fun.

    I do the H.S.C here its like a range of tests that is eventually made up into a rank against the whole of students in NSW which will eventually determine what course you can get into in university!

    my results:

    (/100)
    ANCIENT HISTORY: 82
    CHEMISTRY: 75
    ENGLISH (ADVANCED):82
    MATHEMATICS: 82
    VISUAL ARTS: 90

    and my rank (100 being the highest) was 82!

    Its a weird system down here!

    I've taken the PSAT, but I don't know what I got on it, and I'm not telling you what I got on the ACT.

    Took SAT I in 2000 or 2001. Got 750 Maths, 720 Verbal, so 1470 overall. Not bad for a one-off without really studying. I also took SAT IIs - Maths II 780, biology 790, chemistry low-mid 700s and english writing 690 (d'oh).

    I'm taking the GAMSAT (graduate medical admissions test) in March.

    SAT (2nd take, 200...3?)
    Math- 640
    English-700
    Total-1340

    No studying, no practicing and it was good enough for me. I knew kids who HAD to have that 1600, so they took the test seven or eight times. Megan don't play that. I did what I had to do, and went to school. Yay me!

    I'm an idiot...

    On SAT:
    640 Verbal
    690 Math

    On SAT2:
    690 Math
    760 Writing

    You all are smarter.

    But hey, I have a 3.94 GPA as a 3rd year university student... so take THAT! Hah!

    I got 800 on math but I can't remember what I got on verbal. Considerably less.
