SAT/ACT scores?

I just got mine in the mail and I want to know how I did compared to everyone else :

SAT - 1st Try : 1920
SAT - 2nd Try : 2020

ACT - 1st Try : 26
ACT - 2nd Try : 27

I'm mailing these off to universities in about a month or so.

 

I think I got an 1860 while others in my class got 2100-2200. You shouldn't put too much stock into the scores as I was essentially at the top of my class intelligence wise even though my scores and grades did not always show it. These tests are more testing your ability to take a test more than anything else.

 

Nice.

 

im not a very good test taker, but i got a 1950. However, i believe i am pretty smart since i have a 4.1 gpa in high school

 

ACT - First Try: 26
ACT - Second Try: 29
ACT - Third Try: 34

I had a problem with the English portion of the test, seeing as it's not my first language.

 

I got a 24 on the ACT, didn't study or anything. I'm happy with it.

 

1748 on the SAT. I didn't study, and went to bed at my usual time which is midnight, test was fairly early and it was cold, but I'm not blaming those things for my score.

 

27 honestly is a score to be proud of. That can get you into most colleges here in the United States, minus Ivy-League and smaller private colleges or schools like Notre-Dame, Stanford etc.


If you also have good grades in school, took a challenging compilation of classes and participated a lot in school, you're set.

I personally got a 30 last year, hoping to get it up a point or two but it's no biggie.

 

1970 on my one and only try at the SAT, wish I prepped instead of going in unprepared lol.

Didn't take the ACT.

 

Didnt prepare for SAT and scored a 2010, wish i would of studied for a perfect score!

 

I got a 1960 on the SAT in June and will be retaking it in October.

 

First time I took it I got a 27, I was happy with the score, didn't bother to take it again.
Never had to take the SAT though.

 

I got a 26 as an 8th grader

 

Damn. :nuts: Those are pretty big jumps!

 

Thanks. I just had to get used to the English language, then it made the English and Reading sections easier. That's why I had such big jumps.

 

I did a little better on the english section than the math section. , but yeah nice! :laugh:

 

My scores are similar to yours. SAT's I got around an 1800 (can't remember exactly) and a 28 on the ACT. My grades are excellent but my testing scores don't really correspond with my grades. If I were you I would submit the 2020 you got. That seems to be your best grade. I wouldn't worry too much because you'll definetly get into a good college. It might not be an ivy league but theres plenty of good ones out there. Apply to a couple safeties, a few matches, and one or two reaches. I'm going to be applying next month aswell to Boston College, Boston University, and a couple other colleges. Good luck on your applications and give us an update in the future!

 

SAT's are a joke. I got 720 on the writing part, even though I got 6/12 on the short essay, the only actual writing on the test. For some reason I did a subject test on math and got an 800, despite missing a couple problems (why would they curve it...?). Total 2220 on the 3 basic tests, but I don't take it to seriously.

2020 should be good for most colleges/universities. scores are only one of many factors anyways. Your most limiting factor will probably be cost.

 

2220 is really good. I wish I got that :'(

 

Thanks man. I'm looking to attend UCLA with my basketball scholarship, or DUKE university.
