<p>I can't believe I got an 8 on the freaking essay... DAMMIT.</p>
<p>Did worse than I thought...oh well, composites up to 1520 m+v, I'm done.</p>
<p>Is it possible to get a 740 missing 4 math problems?</p>
<p>I don't think so, I think that's a 720 at max.</p>
<p>Yeah doubt it. Math is pretty steep :)</p>
<p>I HATE COLLEGEBOARD
they are tellin me to wait another #%$^&%$^ week</p>
<p>That sucks for all those people who have to wait.</p>
<p>Well, when are we going to get score reports online?</p>
<p>Haha, I was spot on in my predictions.</p>
<p>Math - Predicted 800 - Actual Score: 800
Critical Reading - Predicted 750+ - Actual Score: 760
Writing - Predicted 700+ - Actual Score: 710 [10 essay]</p>
<p>Wow, my PSAT scores were definitely NOT an indicator. I did the worst on math on the PSAT's (67) and the best on writing (78). My scores completely flip-flopped.</p>
<p>My PSAT Scores were a pretty good indicator, at least the first time I took them without studying. I got a 172, and then I took a diagnostic test and got a 1730.</p>
<p>Math: 780 (predicted)
CR: 760 (around prediction)
Writing: 780 (thought i had the 800) o well (11 essay)
Total: 2320</p>
<p>IM mad...1720..but I did not prep....hoping to get 2000 in may with prep!</p>
<p>cr: 700
m: 690
w: 700</p>
<p>Wow, mixed emotions for me. I went up in CR and Math and down In Writing (my best section!!!)</p>
<p>I took the SAT 3 times. Haha, I'm through. If you add up all my highest scores, I got a 2050! That was my goal. I wanted to, in some way or another, break the 2000s.</p>
<p>So, can you add up your three highest out of all administrations? I've read on many colleges' sites that they do that. Ah, w/e, in any case these are my scores:</p>
<p>:D CR: 690 (went up from a 680 which went up from a 600)
:) Math: 650 (went up from a 600 which went up from a 590 :()
:( :( Writing: 650 - Essay 9 (went DOWN from a 710 - essay 10; and even a 690 - essay 10 the first time)</p>
<p>Overall I'm happy b/c my score report went out to all the schools I applied to. So, I'm glad that they'll get to see all my scores! Especially my SAT IIs (which were far better - Spanish even being an 800; which I took in 10th grade). So I've got decent SAT I scores and at least three scores above 700 on SAT IIs. I'm set!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone else on your scores! :)</p>

<p>I just woke up to check my score... and all I can say is that i am very happy!</p>
<p>:):):)CR-800 (up from 690, way past my expectation 750)
:):)Math-800 (same)
:)Writing-770 (down from 780, but not that important)
Total-2370
Composite-2380</p>
<p>is this for real???</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Ok... First time (Dec): Math: 640 Writing: 800 & CR: 800 (2240)</p>
<p>This time: Math: 730, Writing:770 & CR: 800 (2300)</p>
<p>Bit ambivalent, really, was hoping to go above 760 in Math and thus equal my twin (who got 2360 last time). Still, I suppose a best of 2330 is good. Isn't it? :)</p>
<p>Congrats everyone on your scores! Especially those who got 2400s! Well done! :)</p>
<p>thanks, gxing!</p>
<p>just one concern: does colleges look at the actual essay? and is it bad that i got 10 on the essay?</p>
<p>Depends on the college. Some don't even count the essay. I know practically all of the schools that I applied to (mostly Ivy league) count the essay (and actually read it). A 10 isn't bad. I don't just say that b/c I got 10s on the essay in the past. The truth is, a 10 is a combination of two 5's (as obvious as that may sound). And 5 is the next highest score one can get on the rubric from 1-6. Colleges that count the essay will have an idea about what the rubric is like. Scores of 9 - 12 are good b/c to get any of them, you had to get at least one 5/6!
Haha..... or am I just being too optimistic? ;)</p>

<p>^
...Are you sure colleges read the essay?!?!
I got a 10 the first time, and a 12 this time, but they were sooooo worth 5's or something.</p>
<p>The most selective schools actually do read them. They read them in context w/ your other writing (a.k.a. admissions essays). They do it to get a better idea of your strengths (particularly in writing) and to have a feel for your opinions and interests. And the best thing is, they know it won't be a long, convoluted piece b/c it's timed. So it's an easy way to guage an applicant's writing in timed settings. So my answer would be, that it depends on the school you're applying to.</p>
