<p>My friend, who’s only a junior so she has lots of time to raise her score, got a 1810 on her first try. That’s not too bad.</p>
<p>1920 for my first try as a Junior… I didn’t take any classes or get any tutoring help.
Anyone else get this as their first score, and raised it a lot? My goal is at least 2200, and this is definitely dissapointing!</p>
<p>Math 770
CR 730
VW 800</p>
<p>Superscore 2320</p>
<p>I feel like everybody on here is at quasi-genius level. so even though I’m not too happy, in an effort to make people who maybe didn’t score as well feel better about themselves, I got an 1870. whoop-de-doo. but whatever. it was my first try, I’m a junior, and I didn’t study. any tips on raising the writing scores? that was what killed me… which is quite out of my personal norm.</p>
<p>2110 
I got a 2220 last time, and hoped for 2270+ this try…Merry Christmas :-/ Still only a junior, though - there’s time!</p>
<p>2400</p>

800 (76/12)</p>
<p>DS got an 800 on his Latin SAT II. I am so excited I could fly.</p>
<p>@314 etc. – I see you are a junior. If I were you, I wouldn’t bother taking the SAT Reasoning Tests again. LOL! Congratulations!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What exactly does “DS” mean? D___ Son?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>2210…</p>
<p>750
660 <-lol i got 78 on psat math
800 (75, 12)</p>
<p>75 seems like a very low cutoff</p>
<p>Math: 800
CR: 740
Writing: 760
Total: 2300</p>
<p>not going to retake it :)</p>
<p>@LadyDianeski
Is he taking the Latin: Vergil AP Test this year?</p>
<p>I had my wisdom teeth pulled a few days before the October Sat IIs. On hydrocodone painkillers: Math II: 610, Physics: 560, US Hist: 640</p>
<p>*Took it again this month and did a little better</p>
<p>Math II: 630(This is ridiculous) Physics: 650(Very surprised) US History: 700(Quite Pleased)</p>
<p>Test scores aren’t my strength anyways, still gonna have a good Christmas ;)</p>
<p>@Aeschylus and @AFMD – your scores are great. Don’t be so hard on yourselves! CollegeConfidential gives us all a warped perspective. In the outside world, excellent colleges are clamoring for kids with scores like yours. Sweat it not. 
And Merry Christmas!</p>
<p>314–It means Dear Son, but there are certainly times when I think of him more as D*mned Son. 
Just kidding…kind of.</p>
<p>OtherWindow: No. We home-school, and we haven’t been in the AP loop at all. I don’t know whether that is hurting us…we’re kind of near the end of the process now, and we haven’t aimed at the Ivies or anything. </p>
<p>Son is currently reading The Aeneid in Latin. Given the size of the tome, I think that will probably take him the rest of the academic year. </p>
<p>He’s been acccepted at several Catholic colleges and also at UNC Asheville and Western Carolina. (We’re in-state.) WCU has invited him into the Honors College (great dorms!) as an Honors Scholar. We’ll learn about scholarship $$ tomorrow. Meanwhile, he has applied to the UNC Asheville Honors College. And we’re waiting to hear from UNC Chapel Hill, Appalachian State, and Washington and Lee (his only reach).</p>
<p>Forgot to mention that he was also accepted at University of Alabama with a scholarship. If he ends up graduating from National Merit Semifinalist to Finalist, then UA ups the scholarship to full ride. That may be hard to resist.</p>
<p>Wish he could attend one of the Catholic colleges that has accepted him, but they’re stingy with FinAid compared with the publics. And that UNC-system in-state tuition is hard to beat.</p>
<p>BTW (sorry for dragging out this saga, LOL)…the big fly in the ointment WRT WCU is that it has NO classics department. None, nichts, nada, rien, niente. Asheville and Chapel Hill both have fantastic classics departments. DS is not planning to major in classics, but he may minor in it…after all these years studying Latin and Greek, it would be a shame to drop them altogether. Oh well. We shall see. </p>
<p>OK, end of mama-brag saga. :)</p>
<p>@mott1206: Congratulations!! I think you are very wise not to retake. Those are super scores. </p>
<p>@daemOn – from what I’m told, there’s very little difference between 75 and 80. At that level, it’s a matter of maybe missing one or two answers.</p>
<p>@BRazor: My husband’s all-time best student at the Louisiana School for Math, Science & the Arts (state-funded boarding school for gifted kids) was a young girl who was not the best standardized test-taker. But she was sharp as a tack, worked her tush off, and got great grades. Her SATs just didn’t fully reflect her abilities. But she obviously had what it takes. Not only was she my husband’s best history student; she was his best Latin student, too. (He taught both subjects.) She went on to earn her PhD in linguistics (IIRC), and now she’s a professor somewhere in the Midwest.</p>
<p>Besides, BRazor – those scores are quite respectable. The Physics SAT alone is a killer!! Have a fantastic Christmas and don’t worry about it. :)</p>
<p>“660 <-lol i got 78 on psat math”</p>
<p>DS also did better on his PSATs than on his (Reasoning) SATs. I think he likes shorter tests better. (Who wouldn’t? Let’s face it–the SAT is a marathon!)</p>
<p>2340 (740 r, 800 m, 800 w [80/10])</p>
<p>I’m happy with that :D</p>
<p>Scored an 1870 first shot cold as a junior.</p>
<p>620 CR
560 M
690 W</p>
<p>I’m not happy, but I’m not mad at myself either, considering it was a test run.</p>
