<p>funny the val and sal at my school have low low scores, as does everyone else.
sal got a 1590/2400 and a 10 something out of 1600
val got a little higher.
4th in class got a 1480/2400</p>
<p>i had a 190 on my junior psat (which was much higher than anyone elses - sad.) so im expecting a little higher on my sat.....
right now the highest score in my grade is a 1780. (i only took my reasoning in june everyone else took it in may. 790 in chem was worth it.)</p>
<p>Our high school only has 120 students total. This years val got a 23. And somehow she got into UW Madison. In my class, I'm tops with a 33 (I think I got higher on the June one though), there's also a 30, a couple of 29s. I'd never heard of anyone getting above a 30 in our school before this year, which is actually very sad.</p>
<p>At my school, all the valedictorians had like 33s or 34s. One of the salutatorians scored a 35 and I think that was the highest score in their class.</p>
<p>I know lots of juniors with mid-30's. Hell, one of my friends took the ACT in eighth grade and got a 26. It all depends, I guess.</p>
<p>I just think that you guys/gals who come on CC are just fricken plain smart.</p>
<p>Most of my friends are only wanting/expecting 20-26s. Not 30s. The 30s are for the geniuses/one's who study like crazy. Well, not really, since my friend studies like everyday for a month and doesn't really do so swell. </p>
<p>I got a 25, and I'm quite happy with that because most of my colleges will accept 25s. I could probably pull off a 30, if they just gave us like 5 more minutes on each section. I finish all the sections in time, but I realize I made careless mistakes.=/ But I mean, I can still get into good colleges with that and that I'm in the top 12 of my class.</p>
<p>Maybe you're right, NLT. Most of my friends got 30's on their first tries. I'll be disappointed if I don't get above a 30 this time, too. Mostly because I want to get into some really competitive schools.</p>
<p>Good luck highopes.
You'll probably get above a 30 if you did try to go over what you did wrong and stuff. A lot of people do better on their second time</p>
<p>Thanks, NLT.</p>
<p>I did pretty well on reading and English, alright on math. Science is going to take my score down pretty far, though. :P</p>
<p>It really depends on your school, I think. I moved from Arizona, and my school there (Hamilton) had some prettttty hefty scores on both tests. Now I live in Florida, and the scores SUCK. A guy in my APUS history class got a 21, and people saw that as good. I got a 1980 on my SAT's on the first try, which was basically viewed as unheard of.</p>
<p>so our class is pretty much loaded. we had 2 35's, 1 34 (me), 10 33's, and like 25 more people with 31-32. we also had like 50 people with 30 (no exaggeration). I definitely think ACT is easier than SAT, cuz i got 34 and 2150 (june results pending for SAT). since ACT is supposedly curriculum based, its way easier to study for.</p>
<p>haha TTwhite, I live in florida. i think that's why people made such a big deal when I got a 36. cuz floriduh iz duhmb.</p>
<p>My school's average SAT score is 1280 (out of 2400, NOT 1600) and average ACT is 19. Each class graduates 600+ students. I think the highest SAT score among those who just graduated was 1360 on the old scale.</p>
<p>I go to a magnet school within the larger high school. The magnet scores much better (but still not great), with SATs averaging maybe 1700 and ACTs around 24.</p>
<p>The previous magnet school SAT record was 1380 out of 1600 (i think) and a 28 ACT. One of my friends and I have easily broken each of those this year.</p>
<p>I guess my school's pretty average. Anything 28+ is considered really good. The last time I talked about it to our val he had a 34, but that was from his sophomore year lol. </p>
<p>I got a 33 in April, and when I tell people I'm retaking it to try for a higher score they think I'm insane haha. They've clearly never been on CC :P</p>
<p>I remember that thread with the person getting a 34 and wanting to retake for a 36... =D
I go to a kinda competitive school. I hate it when people say they don't study and get 33+s :-(</p>
