How did your parents do on the SAT?

<p>Me: 1480/1600
Dad: 1250/1600
Mom: 1000/1600
Sister: ???</p>

<p>On a side note:
Aunt: 1600/1600 <----their children should do well :wink:
Uncle: 1600/1600</p>

<p>This is a very interesting thread. </p>

<p>My mom said she took the ACT but she was really sick that day and didn’t do well at all. I would assume some type of mid 20’s maybe lower 20’s. She didn’t end up going to college.
Dad took the ACT but doesn’t remember either. I would assume he did well on the math and science portions but I doubt he did very well on the other two sections. He ended up going to community college. </p>

<p>I scored a 34 on the ACT. </p>

<p>So in my case it doesn’t look like I received standardized testing ability from my parents.</p>

63

<p>not applicable</p>

64

<p>Mother: 1360/1600
Father: Didn’t take
Me: 1590/1600</p>

<p>I got the best of the gene pool :).</p>

65

<p><em>Mother: 1600/1600 (thank G-d, too, since the high school performance was equivocal)
*Father: 1380/1600 (yet graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford, nonetheless)
Daughter: 2310 (breakdown 800 math, 800 writing, 710 reading)
(</em>both parents got highest possible scores on MCATs)</p>

66

<p>All I know is that my mom got a 520 on Math and an 800 on Reading, lol.
I got a 770 on Math and an 800 in Reading. Guess math is a weak point for my family? Ha.</p>

67

<p>My mom and dad lived in Vietnam. So 
</p>

68

<p>Some parent has to do this 
 remember the SATs were recentered a few years ago 
 so your parents scores from the past are actually a little better than they appear 
 typically about 100 points. 3togo, an old geezer, sticking up for his generation.</p>

69

<p>^^ Mine too. Yay Vietnamese! :D</p>

70

<p>Mom: Asian aka didn’t take
Dad: He forgot. He got into Emory, so I assume it was a good score
Me: FEBRUARY 10TH.</p>

71

<p>Neither took them. First college student in my family.</p>

<p>1430/1600</p>

72

<p>My parents went to school in Mexico, so
</p>

<p>I recently did the PSAT and judging by those I got the equivalent of a 1950, though. Ugh, stupid me for not pulling off those last 50 points for National Merit
</p>

73

<p>My parents don’t remember
good enough to get into Michigan for my Mom and Rose Hulman for my Dad haha</p>

74

<p>I don’t know if my parents took it, but my sister told me she got “eighty-something percent” (back when it was out of 1600)
and when I told her mine, she was like, “oh, you got X percent, that’s pretty good”. She’s the kind of person who would find CC bafflingfly humorous.
As for the percentages, I think that’s how I’ll tell people (if any) my score from now on. =P</p>

75

<p>Yeah guys the scores were re-centered so there’s little point in comparing unless you adjust for this.</p>

76

<p>

</p>

<p>What’s the international exam equivalent?</p>

<p>Oh and for me
Parents: Did not take
Me: ACT 33</p>

<p>I’m still in Asia so that’s why my parents didn’t take it. They didn’t even know about the SAT/ACT until I told them about it.</p>

77

<p>dad: 1500/1600 (700 V, 800 M)
mom: 1480/1600 (760 V, 720 M)</p>

<p>my january scores haven’t come back yet but my PSAT is exactly like mom’s scores minus writing</p>
