<p>This is not to brag or anything. Please don't flame.</p>

<p>I got 2300 today but I feel like crap. Like seriously. I was doing the SAT for personal satisfaction, not for schools, not for parents, etc. I would've been fine with attending a subpar school with A 2350-like score because I'd be satisfied with myself.</p>

<p>Has anyone felt like this? Not just SAT, but in anything. You do something for yourself, put so much effort and dedication, and it just doesn't work out. You had such good intentions, yet still it didn't work out.</p>

<p>no u fail.</p>

<p>I can relate, but then again, it’s not like it matters that much. Personal satisfaction should come after other, more important things.</p>

<p>It didn’t work out? I mean, I guess I kind of know how you feel, but a 2300 is the 99th+ percentile. That’s really good. Just because you made a few mistakes on the test doesn’t make you an idiot, and you shouldn’t feel bad about it. As cliche as it sounds, everyone makes mistakes. If I get a 2300, sure, I’ll feel bad because I know I could have gotten a 2350 or a 2400, but a 2300 is still a fine score, and I’d still try to give myself a pat on the back. Be happy.</p>

<p>Also, congratulations! :)</p>

<p>I mean, I know what you’re talking about. I was over the moon when I heard my score was a 2350 today–until my friend texted me telling me he got a 2400. When there’s room to improve and you know you could have done it, it’s hard not to be disappointed.</p>

<p>Yea me and my friend both got 2400’s but I was kinda peed off that I didn’t get higher because I know I studied like 10x more.</p>

7

<p>It’s a good thing I scored a 2430 my first try, that way I never feel inferior to anyone when discussing SAT scores.</p>

8

<p>^^Are you serious?</p>

9

<p>Yeah? I don’t care if society sees my score as perfect, I studied more and I deserve a higher score.</p>

<p>I feel you bro. Screw colleges and what they want, do it for yourself.</p>

<p>Anyways congrats on the score! I know you were working very hard for it. How much time did you spend studying if you dont mind me asking?</p>

<p>Lawl, OP got a 2300? That’s a fail if ever I saw one.</p>

12

<p>Don’t kill yourself bro…you can always retake and redeem yourself after bringing such tremendous shame upon your family.</p>

13

<p>^I’m pretty sure I explicitly stated that I was doing this for MYSELF. Do you understand what that means? My parents don’t care what score I get. They are happy with whatever I get.</p>

<p>Yeah, I feel you. When my time investments yield paltry returns, I feel like I failed myself. But right now, I would sacrifice my grandmother to get a 2350, so I can’t relate to your exact situation.</p>
