</p>
<p>I was in room 4. (I hope you werent that lame arsed gal behind me):rolleyes:</p>
<p>I think I did well on the Math IC which was fairly easy i have to say. Not sure about Bio cuz I hadnt even goen through what was required for the test. :(</p>
<p>heyy, came back from my first ever SAT I...</p>
<p>a beginner's experience/questions/wisdom:</p>
<ul>
<li>math can be finished earlier than you think... just be careful with the 20 minute section</li>
<li>the critical reading section flew right over my head... whoooosh... i found it difficult to concentrate on the passages.</li>
<li>the essay was ok. what's the standard number of words you're expected to write?</li>
<li>the writing was... ehh... weird.</li>
<li>the test is LONG!!!</li>
</ul>
<p>i have a question that may seem stupid but i would really appreciate getting an answer:</p>
<p>how important is it to fall in the exact SAT range of a college? i mean will it be really bad if imy score falls slightly or quite below the range? :confused:</p>
<p>i still can't tell how it went: could've been ok, bad or really bad. after the unexpected results of my SAT II, i don't trust myself to make a good guess</p>

that's what the test makers are hoping to achieve.

then you will need other attibutes to offset that. like high grades.</p>
<p>my essay was pretty long; though i don't know if it qualifies to be a "SAT essay"... hmm...</p>
<p>my SAT II scores were horrible (670 lit / 630 math)... so i need good SAT I score... what's a good score for a top 15 liberal arts school?</p>
<p>(and can u teach me how to do the "quote" thing <em>embarrassed</em>... i'm really fascinated but i don't know how you guys do it <em>blush</em>)</p>
<p>i did literature... yay the poem was a bit eekeekeek... but i liked the test... so m in love with lit today ;) but i screwed up in che... din't get time to put on ans of last 10 ques :(...

<p>I've never heard of Barron's before I join this forum... Oh, well. Our school library only has CB's "official" SAT helper. And of course not the one for the new SAT I... :o</p>
