***November 2015 SAT (US Only) Thread ***

@krauser126 i feel you hahah its my third time taking it and i really dont want to go back :,(

@kmcfadden99 If only youd gotten 1 more question correct on the CR and a few more on the Writing and youd be on the 2400 Hall of Fame :stuck_out_tongue: Seriously though thats pretty impressive :smiley: I wish I could get that high! CONGRATS! :slight_smile:

Does anyone remember the mean=median=mode math question?? What did you guys get for that one?

@Parislove98 I got 9 wrong and 650 as well. For October I got a 9 on essay and 3 wrong mc and received a 700 so you should probably get 720 - 740 range

I’ve also already predicted my score range, but likewise, I’m biased. Can anyone predict for me please?

M: 2 wrong, 2 omit
W: 2-3 wrong, 10-11 essay
CR: 3-5 wrong

@samsunguser

My estimate using lowest score prediction:

CR 730
M. 720
W. 720
Total 2170

@HelloEveryone27 I’m low income so I had a certain restriction to the number of colleges I could apply to.

Reed College. Portland, Oregon.
Hamilton College. Hamilton, New York.
Grinnell College. Grinnell, Iowa.
Cornell University. Ithaca, New York.

Yes, I know there’s an elephant in that room, but I have faith in holistic admissions. I’m going in with a light heart and ease of mind :smiley:

How about you guys, which universities are going to be lucky to have you next Fall? :slight_smile:

Guys, is there anything wrong with taking the sat 3 times? Would that be frowned upon by college admissions officers? This is my second time, but if I only have 2 tries, I’ll cancel my November score and just study for January.

@AGoodFloridian
I feel like that question is like level 3 at max because once you realize that it doesn’t affect median or mode it’s pretty straight forward
@ambitionsquared Score Choice.

@AGoodFloridian I don’t see an elephant in the room, just another great school deserving of a student like yourself. Good luck on the admissions process, and if you don’t make Cornell, your other options are well-respected and should make for an enjoyable 4 years. For myself, no college is going to be lucky enough to have me next fall… because I’m a junior lol.

@IneffableMind My main targets are schools that don’t have score choice, namely UCLA/UC Berkeley. I think I would have to send all scores to the Ivy Leagues as well.

We all camping till 5 AM on Nov. 24? :slight_smile:

@AGoodFloridian I am a lowincomer too. In addition to that, I am an immigrant who got here during 7th grade 2nd semester, so my reading score is really low and as well as my writing… So the colleges that I can apply are SO limited. I do want to apply to those top schools but with my scores they seem to be a bit reaching…
My October score: R-460, W-660, M-770 (total: 1890…)
Hopefully I can get above 1930 this time. And the colleges will understand my situation through essays and my desire through my resume…
I am applying to University of Michigan…

Thoughts on what colleges will match me? (Anyone?)
Planning to major in dental.

@krauser126 Thanksgiving break that week, so it seems highly likely ahaha

@renegade23 sadly I have school Mon-Wed :L Btw what’s your goal on this SAT? Your score breakdown. Also, you think I should retake if I get a 2250-2290? I want to get into Harvard, Yale, or any other top Ivy Leagues. I have a good amount of extra curriculars and good course load and diversity (born in good ol’ Africa (Morocco) :slight_smile: )

@krauser126 I would love to break 2100, but I’d be satisfied with high 2000s.
I definitely don’t think you should retake if you get in that range. That is a great score for any school. I constantly read how minute the distinctions are between a 2250 and a 2300+. Sure it looks better, but at this point, I would just accept it (and be proud of it!) and just leave the rest into the hands of the college admissions gods lol

@renegade23 Ok thanks for the input!

My goal is UT Engineering honors. According to score prediction and intuition my predicted scores are
Math: (-0) 800
Reading: (-5ish) 730
Writing: (-4ish and 9 on essay)690
Combines to a 2220. I also want to apply to some reach schools such as Stanford engineering. I have so far take one subject test (math II) and got a 800, but it is always reading and writing that bring me down. should i give it one more shot in january or call it quits and free myself from the shackles of the SAT?
Thanks!

@ambitionsquared - no. Nothing wrong with taking it three (or four…or five) times. It’s a bummer, of course, and money in the CB’s pocket, and there may be opportunity costs for you, but it won’t hurt your admissions chances (in my experience).

im a junior so i still have a year before looking to apply to colleges. Just trying to get rid of the SAT before the new one comes out. xP
