***January 2016 SAT (US Only) Thread***

Hey guys i canceled my score so i cant see what i got. But judging from the scores u got what would i get with 6 wrong reading, and 2 wrong writing and 8 on essay? My math would be a 770.

Edit: i dont regret cancelling but i would really like to know what i wouldve gotten. Thx everybody!

@lollypip

-6 reading=720
-2wr, 8essay=730
-1 math=770

Total=2220

Oh

Thx @thetex ! Crap…

11 essay 78/80 --> 800

I think I have to retake the SATs. My guidance counselor said 2230 isn’t good enough lol

@kinddestiny thats the median sat score at an ivy league…

@thenonchosenone lol yeah i know. i was originally really happy when i saw my score this morning because january 2016 is my first SAT and i thought it could be my last. my guidance counselor wants me to retake the SAT to improve my 690 in reading. she just feels like its too low for the colleges im thinking about

@thenonchosenone i honestly don’t want to retake though. im just more of a math/science oriented person and have no interest in reading or studying for the reading section. :stuck_out_tongue: but i guess what has to be done just has to be done.

I was supposed to take this test but it got postponed to February 20th due to hazardous weather conditions. Does this mean that I’m taking the test that was administered to everyone on January 23rd, or am I going to be given a new test?

@jlisant21 You will be given a new test.

Ohhhh now that makes sense @kinddestiny

Do colleges care more about individual scores or composite score? With the Jan and Nov sat, I got a 2170 super score (770m 770w 630r) but my reading score is like either not in range or at the lowest range for top 25 schools and my writing and math are in the 75th percentile for some.

@JuicyMango Glad you got out of the 2200 hole!

Finally, 800 Math. 2370 SS (but I took 4 times) :(.

@joeweller Lol yeah it was such a relief :). Congrats on your superscore, that’s great!

is 2230 on sat and being urm (African amerrican) good for ivy. and what type?

@chizzychiznips Wow yeah that’s great. You have a very strong chance of admissions, given that other things (like your gpa) are good.

@JuicyMango Thanks for the paucity of a response.

@goldeagle81616 Wait…is that sarcasm? I don’t really know what else to say to him/her. College admissions are very complex.
