<p>(I'm not sure if this is the right place to post. I'm new here.)</p>
<p>In seventh grade I received an SAT score of 1600+. I am wondering if this was a good score, it seems like my friends received much higher scores at this age, even if we all ended up getting 2200+ in high school. I'm just wondering, I suppose I had literally zero prep for this score and my friends probably studied quite a while for their scores, but I still feel a bit irrationally upset.</p>
<p>It should probably be noted that in seventh grade I was a year younger (I skipped a grade.)</p>
<p>Dude, don’t be upset. Do you plan on getting the SATs done with in 7th grade? Good luck, not gonna happen. Are you just trying out for some CTY nonsense (you get something saying “Hey, your child is talented!” in the mail)? Well, that stuff is a money making scheme. </p>
<p>The SATs are pretty good at measuring intellectual maturity (especially the essay part). Don’t give up hope if you aren’t doing well in 7th grade. Especially if you are a year younger than the rest.</p>
<p>In 7th grade, I got an 1850 after studying quite a lot. Then, my parents made me retake the exam in 8th and 9th grade, something that they regret now because it is utterly pointless. They wanted me to get it out of the way early. Pretty stupid, my mind was not very developed back then. </p>
<p>But anyway, I could tell that my intellectual maturity was improving. I consistently added 100-200 points every year until I reached 2270 and gave up. </p>
<p>So now, I’m taking it for the last time at the end of 11th grade (like most people) after having forgotten about it for 2 years. I’m fairly confident that I will get a perfect score or close, practices seem so much easier now.</p>
<p>Thanks, I got a 2360 on my SAT in eleventh grade after a lot of prep, but I feel like my score was manufactured because when I took the SAT in seventh I received such a low score.</p>
<p>Makes me feel sort of cheap, so I’m wondering if this was a normal score for seventh graders who scored highly.</p>
<p>It’s not about where you start, it’s about where you finish.</p>
