Remember, he's Canadian...they use the Metric system. That converts to about an 85....GG NUB!!!!

Scott:laugh:

[Mikey]

i took one time as a freshman.. got a 27 overall, but got a 36 on science reasoning

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

28 overall, and 2 years away from high school - got 1340 on the SAT's...took them the same day - also the same day I took my GED exam and scored in the 99th percentile in all areas...belive it or not, I droped out of high school in the 10th grade, and went' back and took all those tests much later, without studying. At the time I had moved to a little town called Manning, SC and I honestly think I dropped out because I was bored...they were reading at a 3rd grade level in 10th grade...I used to get frustrated with those idiots trying to read outloud in class and go off about "The Great Gatsby" or "The Sands fo Killamanjaro" and get beat up :(

I wound up being a History Major w/ a dual minor in Music and Economics...2 years later. Didn't even need the 11th and 12th grade.

1st: 28

2nd: 32

3rd: 34

Only time I took the SAT I scored 1410 composite.

If you are just converting with the metric system that would be a true statement, but if you use the value of canadian money compared to US currency...i made a 347!!!!! OMG I'M SMART!!!!

j/k, in canada, there is no ACT or SAT for college or university entry. You get accepted strictly on your high school grades, more specifically grades 10 & 11, and sometimes you have to take an entrance exam.

What was really surprising to me when i started engineering school at LA TECH, obviously there are alot of calculus classes, but i didn't learn anything new in math until the last quarter of my freshman year (3rd calculus). I couldn't believe that my fellow students had never seen that stuff before college!

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

It's sad, but I've pulled transcripts here where people have 8 and 10 on their ACT. I can't even comprehend that...

[-=C.O.P.S=-KOrruptED]

LOL what is an 8 or 10 comparable to in SAT?

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

A smile and a pat on the head. A 10 gets you a cookie.

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

omg and yes i said reading not writing...im a horrible speller...

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

oh i had a friend that was a year behind me and she scored a perfect 36 on the ACT not once, not twice, but three times. she had scholarships to yale, harvard, mit, and several others, know where she ended up going?


yep ULM...it was sad, and she dropped out as after the second year. sad sad day

[-FA- hoody]

Doh, i feel like a retard I only scored a 22.

[Mikey]

lol.. u will get pushed

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

Humm....I Graduated H.S. But I can't say that I even remember The ACT test... I used to get mad at all those >Insert expletive< Test's. I Think the public school system had a test for every letter in the alphabet... ANYWAY thats my take on it.

[LA_MERC_Sniper]

I never took it either yellow but i scored 1310 on sat

[}{y|3ri|)]

i had a strait 4.0 through out high school, but at 7:00am on a saturday morning i scored a 22. Im just a bad test taker... lost focus and started making patterns with the paper...

[LA_MERC_eX1|eS' ch1|d]

I never took sat's or act's, I figured I know I'm dumb so why put a number on it?

[LA_MERC_eX1|eS' ch1|d]

On a different note, a pretty good friend of mine scored just under 1400 on his sat's, can't remember exactly. He dropped out of college and does odds and ends jobs, he r lazy. Ofcourse he is the one that got a new policy started at my school, you have to turn in atleast 75% of the class work or you fail the class. See he sat down and figured out exactly how much work he had to do in order to pass the class, and that was all he did.

[LA_MERC_Sniper]

i made a's and b's and occasionally c's in school and the last girl i dated my senior year never made a B in her life straight a's all the way and she was mad at me because i scored higher than she did she made a 980 or something like that on the sat

[Blue]

Yeah, I was a brick in High School, scored a 19 on my ACT. Anyway, I still finish an undergrad in Philosophy from a good school. When I got out of the the military, the army sent me to a career development Psychiatrist/Counselor, who gave me an IQ test. I did well (MENSA quality). I am currently in a nationally rank (top 5) Ph.D. program (Business, SCM - Arizona State Univ). Go figure, this is a long way from that score of 19 - I'm amazed. Moral of the story, it is almost never too late to develop the noodle God gave you. Oh, and if you want some tips on getting into universities that on paper you don't make the cut, let me know and I will throw you some advice.

[cd]

Hmmm, anyone have any tips? I'm takin ACT Dec 10th, and my score highly determines where I'm going Fall of 2004. I'm shooting for a 28. I got a 25 on the practice act in 9th grade, but that I've been out of school for almost two years now, and havent messed with any of this and really need to blow this out of the water.

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

learn the short cuts.. Buy a princeton review book and use it. it gives you a lot of inside info and tips. I wish I would have have found out about them when I took it years ago. It helped me for the GMAT.

on the reading comprehension, read the passages as fast as you can. All you're looking for is a general idea of what is talked about in each part. Then when you get to the questions, you know where to look to find the answer.

This is actually faster than reading very carefully and memorizing all the information and then answering the questions.
