schools will say what the hell is up with this kid, he must REALLY suck at test taking, or they will (more likely) say GRADE INFLATION.

<p>Not necessarily.... might be that there is a BIG grade inflation in his US History class or your fellow classmates might find your history teacher boring.</p>
<p>I think you bubbled wrong.</p>
<p>As someone asked before, how do you think you did on the test?? If you didn't think you did awful, I think it's a bubble problem. So retake it and you'll do OK.</p>
<p>i'm so sorry for you. please don't cry. Tests aren't everything. just remember that.
It seems to me you must go to a really ghetto school with really easy classes. Do you think it's poossible that you missbubled?
UC as in Cincinatti? or chicago? I'm guessing Cinci. Listen, if you hate history, forget about it and focus on your other two subjects. UC will overlook that if you have good scores on other subjects. Colleges focus on what you do well on.
I got 690 and I'm retaking.
I have say that's it's partly your teacher's fault for being so lousy, and partly yours. you should have seen it coming if you did any practice tests at all.</p>
<p>yeah, i didn't care about it that much, since i thought i would do better in the other subjets, and didn't do any practice tests. i shouldn't have taken it in the first place :S.</p>
<p>Like everyone has been saying...just buy prep books and retake in October. You're bound to do better (significantly better). Think about it, you can't get a lower score...It is in your best interest to retake.</p>
<p>well, thanks for all ur advice. i ordered a US his book to study over the summer (and other prep books too because i never bought one for any subject tests). i suck in history, really. but i put a lot of hope in going to a good college. it was my first year in an american school. i went to school in finland for 2 years, and before that, i was in thailand. the grades i got were mostly A's, a few B's, and C's in PE and history (lol). so i didn't have a doubt about getting straight A's for these 2 semesters since i had been working my @$$ off and noticed that this school was worse than my former school. and then... low scores on the SAT's - -". i guess i was slacking too since i knew i'd still have chances to take the SAT's again next semester.</p>

<p>Dude, she lives in California, so I'm guessing she means University of Califronia-Berkeley/LA/Davis etc.</p>
