<p>I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous that I'm retaking the SAT after graduating college. However, I am currently applying for certain jobs in investment banking and other finance positions that require SAT scores. I told the recruiters of my interest in retaking the test and they all said it would certainly help. Even more ridiculous is that elite investment banking firms still glote over SAT scores even after a candidate has finished his or her MBA. Competition is just so fierce for these jobs.</p>
<p>I did absolutely terrible on the SAT (1080) back in 2003. However, I have been studying for the GMAT for grad schools. Not to sound arrogant, but aside from vocabulary, the SAT is pretty watered down compared to the GMAT. </p>
<p>I would like to study relevant vocab words for the SAT and was hoping to get some good feedback on what sources I should use. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Do they take your highest score? I heard somewhere that you need at least 700 in math for like Goldman Sachs. Unfortunately, I only managed to somehow get 690 (even though I finished all the math sections 5-12 mins early)</p>
<p>Also, will those "elite" institutions accept the GRE as a replacement for the SAT?</p>
<p>690 Is a great score. It will be competitive at any school.</p>
<p>However, at Goldman Sachs you do need a 700+ score... and also ur going to need to tell recruiters your SAT score... thats why im even here.</p>
<p>No I think ul need ur SAT scores</p>
<p>GMATBLACKBELT, that really bites. My recommendation is to read as man books as possible before the test (which not only improves vocab, but also reading speed and comprehension) and obviously to look up any words you don't know. I never officially studied vocab for the SAT, but instead acquired knowledge of various words through frequent reading. I can tell you this strategy works, but my score (740 CR) should attest for itself.</p>
<p>Also, a good way to start may be by making sure you use words in the correct context. I looked up "glote" and found that it is not a word. I don't know if you mean "gloat" or what...</p>
<p>I'm sorry that this sounds inflated and pompous, but I am not trying to demean you...just trying to help.</p>

hang out in the SAT section of your barnes and noble's.</p>
<p>study the vocab list and memorize some of them.... it works sometimes..</p>
<p>I am still in High School...but just wondering about the Goldman Sachs:</p>
<p>1) Can you tell recruiters of your "highest" score? Or do you have to talk about all your scores?
2) I guess GREs don't replace the SATs? Do you know the reason for that? Both the Vocab and Math are similar, I think.</p>
