<p>i have a lot of acquaintances that arent in my honors and ap classes, and when they make me tell them my sat score i feel so bad! ill be like "well i got a 2270" and theyre like "ohh i got a 1400, on the new sat scale!"</p>
<p>Here in white trash central South Dakota people don't talk about scores b/c all the testing that they take is the ACT and this state step test... Nothing is ever discussed in the first place. I live in SD so I can say that most people here are white trash. lol.</p>
<p>800s are pretty common in my school, you just get congratulated and move on to the next topic.
I had a conversation with this girl, very smart, and I was telling her how I am not so good in math and that getting a 770 on one of the SAT IIs would be next to impossible. Her reaction - you are not that bad, are you?</p>
<p>This guy at my school who just graduated got a 36 ACT. For basketball season most of the student body order t-shirts to support the team with whatever nicknames and numbers they want on the back... so for his nickname he puts "MISTER" and for his number he puts "36"... so coccky.</p>
<p>That's not that cocky. A 36 is an impressive feat. I think I just spelled "feat" wrong.</p>
<p>I got an 800 IIC and even though I get straight A's in math, some kids think i'm lying. My friend said it's because I'm black. (Maybe)</p>
<p>You spelled "feat" right. I haven't gotten any heat yet from SAT 800's.</p>
<p>Gkilla that is too funny.</p>
<p>I got a lot of attention for my SAT1 score of 1550 (800v/750m), which was the highest score at my school by 80 points (and one of 3 scores over 1400.) Lots of people asked me about it; lots of my old teachers told their students about it; and my new nickname around school was "harvard." This general amusement wasn't aided by the fact that I was also the valedictorian...lol.</p>
<p>I beat the "supposedly" best kid in math in the school. (I know i'm better than him!) He looked pretty embarrassed in front of his friend to hear he got beat by a black kid. (Not racist at all, just stating the truth.)</p>
<p>In my school (public), it's quite common for the AP students to get high 700's and 800's on SAT-II's, 2000+ on the SAT's, and 30+ on ACT's. When you tell people your high scores, its far more "awesome! nice job!" or "damn you beat me" or "wow that's amazing" than anything else.</p>
<p>Kids hate me because of my 790 French! French is my second language and English is my third. they say it's ur native language so it doesn't count. I'm like no it's my second.This Rwandan kid got an 800 and wasn't bothered. (Maybe i'm the problem)</p>
<p>i think it's some unspoken rule that if you know the other person's score is higher than yours, you're free to tell him/her what yours is and then complain about how low it is.
but i feel stupid/weird if someone makes me tell mine first, and mine ends up being higher. you know?</p>
<p>This is such an arrogent thread.</p>
<p>Oh please, anything over a 700 is a... "ur in f'in genius" at my school. People are happy with 600 on their SAT II which is like 45 percentile. So I've gotten scrutinized on top of the normal "stop killing the curve."</p>
<p>It was the same way at my school, vu.</p>
<p>lol, "IHATESAT," of course you'd say that!</p>
<p>this thread made me laugh.</p>
<p>Nope, I never do....wait....I never got any 800s 'cause I haven't taken any tests.</p>
<p>The smart kids in my school all got 2100+ and 700+. When I told them I got a 2090 they all were like oh... because they saw it as a bad score. But then, when normal kids would ask me my score I would tell them and they'd be like wow! I'd say it was okay and that I was going to retake it and they'd ask me if I was crazy. I think I was one of two kids to get 800 in math. The other kid was in my calculus BC class and someone said it out loud to the teacher, so he asked the kid in front of everyone if it was true and he wouldn't say for a while until he finally admitted it and then everyone clapped for him (I never let my 800 in math really get out, he didn't want to either but it did somehow). Smart people in my school are so modest (but mostly fake modest, as they are all full of themselves). I asked the same kid is ACT score and he just said I did very well. So i was like okay that means 34 or 35, so which one? And after a few minutes he finally said 35 lol. He also has gotten straight 800s on 5 SAT IIs and is valedictorian, but no one really knows his scores. Basically if you do average or bad, everyone knows your scores. If you did exceptional, only like two or three people know them.</p>
<p>i got an 800 on bio-m as a freshman. i only told one person until it leaked when she was like "wait, why is that only 98th percentile?" and everyone was like WHAAAAAT?</p>
<p>then i told my bio teacher because he was graphing people's scores as a function of their grades in his class. apparently this year he told all his students about me. either that or someone who really hates me told all the freshman in bio honors to ask me if i was the kid who got an 800.</p>
<p>the funny thing is that someone else got an 800 too, but she only told like 5 people her score. in september.</p>
<p>i really didn't want people to know at first, but when it finally leaked, i can't say i didn't enjoy the reputation. but freshman still talked to me until this year's june SAT II and asked me for tips and stuff. if i said something like oh, you'll get that topic as long as you pay attention in class or something they're always like yeah well you got an 800.</p>
<p>why am i replying to a week-old post?</p>
<p>okay i didn't answer the question yet.</p>
<p>no, i didn't get bashed.</p>
