<p>That’s a very relevant variable, though (even though it isn’t a fact). That’s why Americans (whose parents speak fluent English at home) score higher on the reading sections.</p>
<p>^True. And silverturtle, you can’t nullify my opinions and thesis, just because you had a bad SAT experience. You can say, “I don’t think so” or “I partly disagree with…” or “I believe that…” But, you can’t say, “This is factually wrong” or “This is contradicted.” You don’t know what I have been through. If your SAT experience was BAD, mine was a contemptible, disgusting, flagrant, despicable, bloody, screwed up, conflicting and, worst of all, fruitless SAT experience. I worked VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY HARDDDDDDD and GOT NOTHINGGGGGGGGG, LITERALLY, NOTHING. I don’t mean to ignore or pretend to ignore that fact that you contributed a lot to this website. Do you know that I knew NOTHING about the SAT until the end of my sophomore year? And do you know the meaning of studying 18+ hours a day? Do you know that out of 3500 SAT words, I knew nothing but 200!!! DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME!!! NO, so don’t dare belittle or negate my work or thesis.
You thank God for the fact of you being an American with American roots??!!! Aren’t you??! You haven’t been through what I went through.
And, no, don’t you dare be crying on the staircase of your house for getting a score somewhere between 2250 and 2350?? OOOHHHH!!! What a disgrace??!!! What an ignominy??!! Should I cry and share your misery??!! At least, if you want to go to a community score, you got to get a 2700+. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHHAAAHHA
HILARIOUS!
One more thing, it is “evidently” and not “evidentially.”
I beg your pardon if this is embarassing. Correct me, too, if you found a speech error with my posts.</p>
<p>And Sakata, do us a favor and mind your own business. And don’t you dare turn antagonistic and start a fight with me for no reason. If you are bellicose, don’t be so with me.</p>
<p>And, people, unless you don’t care, consider the fact of decreasing the spontaneity of your posts and opinions. Because, in this way, it is very very easy to read through you. Your posts reflect who you are!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>First: I didn’t deny any opinions; I specifically pointed out that you were factually incorrect. Second: I did not have a bad SAT experience. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, but none of my claims or denials required this knowledge because you made no personal assertions. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you still addressing me?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Can you clarify your intended message here?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I love the irony in this</p>
<p>@ silverturtle. End of story. The message is that ALL OF YOUR POSTS PROVE THAT YOU HAVE UNDERTAKEN A REALLY BAD SAT EXPERIENCE.
And, yes, I was still adressing you.</p>
<p>Plus, you are no professor, doctor or an encyclopedia to state WHAT ARE FACTS??! I know facts better than you do.</p>
<p>@EastOfEden, Thanks for the compliment.</p>
<p>■■■■■. gruh.</p>
<p>once i rehashed the maths compilation from March 2010 SAT and she/he called me “Good Gurl”. and i can prolly add 10 more to his/her example of ■■■■■■■■. now that being said</p>
<p>let us get back to the topic: is it possible to get a 2400? my opinion would be yes if one is willing to put much effort to it. i believe in nurture rather than nature. that is my personal sentiment.</p>
<p>
I love the irony in this as well.</p>
<p>^ double-irony?</p>
<p>Looking at this backwards at the people I know, I find ACT/SAT to be fairly indicative of intelligence. I think most people can generally assess the intelligence of their peers with some accuracy over time. To discount this in its entirety is to reveal some sort of insecurity in one’s own intelligence. </p>
<p>I have many friends and acquaintances in my school that I’ve known for a year or so before hearing of their test scores, before we all even took tests junior year. After knowing them for some while and grasping how intelligent most of them are through working with them in the class setting, their general discourse and wit, etc., it’s interesting to find that their test scores clearly reflect my preconceived opinions.</p>
<p>Granted there are some slight errors in this “hierarchy” of intelligence/test scores, but the scores are generally indicative, plus or minus some points. I believe they made something for that though… oh, what… standard deviation?</p>
<p>keellota, i dont know about the ACT as indicative of intelligence, but I do agree that the SAT is related with IQs and whatnot. i esp. found the SAT math demanding more reasoning skills than the ACT’s.</p>
<p>Oh, and to touch on “test coaching.” We have a class on ACT prep (bigger here in the South), and even after taking that, most of the people’s scores didn’t jump more than a few points. And the ones that had previously made 30-33 managed to jump only a point or two.</p>
<p>Also, this intelligence/test score correlation is generally strengthened with taking both the SAT and ACT. Again, this is from my experience.</p>
<p>^^ I find the SAT easier, but did better on the ACT. I don’t think there is much of a difficulty difference.
Interestingly enough, the few I know that I wouldn’t consider that intelligent that ended up with a 32-34 on the ACT ended up with an abysmal score on the SAT. Thus why I feel that score corroboration between the tests is more indicative of intelligence.</p>
<p>^ wow that was very insightful i know of a person who was in the exact situation as u described. my Indian-American friend didnt even break the 2000 but nevertheless achieved a 33 on the ACT. and yes i agree with ur interesting story.</p>
