<p>Ack, so I'm guessing Dartmouth would read it. I still can't believe I got a 12 -- this system makes no sense haha.</p>
<p>May I just ask where you got your information? I'm not being skeptical, just curious :).</p>
<p>I guess it just doesn't hurt to read closely into colleges' policies. Mainly I got my information from colleges' websites. I did get some verbal confirmation in some of the interviews, and I was also enlightened via e-mail when I inquired about their new SAT policies. I hope that's legit enough for you ;) ...or at least enough to satiate your curiousity!</p>
<p>Math: 760 (3 wrong; ***?)
CR: 690 (Hoping for above 700 but close enough)
Writing: (710, 9 Essay, Same essays as last 2 times, already pulled off a 760, and oh yeah, this score don't matter!)</p>
<p>I'm done you stupid *<strong><em>ing *</em></strong><strong><em>s!!!! No more of this *</em></strong>!!!! I dance on your head!!!!</p>
<p>Sorry about that, don't know where that came from :)</p>
<p>First (and last) attempt.</p>
<p>CR 760
Math 620 (was never good at it, so it follows that after two years of no math I would do even worse)
Writing 720 (I was expecting higher. Damn the essay.)</p>
<p>My first and definately NOT last attempt</p>
<p>CR 720 (should have gotten higher)
Math 640 (meh)
Writing 690 (I wanted 10 more damn points)</p>
<p>not bad considering i didnt really prep... ill get a tutor for next time..
can 760/700/720 be a realistic goal for next time?</p>
<p>Oooh, I didn't pay much attention to the percentiles, but in critical reading I scored in the 94 %ile. Now that makes me feel a lot better. I was in the 85 %ile for math. While they don't have writing ones yet, I would imagine that my highest writing score merits placement in the mid-high 90 %iles! Wow, if you think of it that way, the scores seem a lot better! Certainly colleges look at these %iles in order to gauge an applicant's strength in the overall applicant pool! Congrats to everyone. And may I suggest: please also post the %ile you scored in. I'm just curious. I'm sure it will be interesting to see who is where on CC (relative to the whole nation).</p>

<p>P.S. And by no means do I believe that a single thread of CC posters is representative of an entire nation of SAT takers - let alone representative of the international population. But for our intents and purposes, I believe this thread is very likely representative of the CC population. Haha, my two cents.... :D</p>
<p>Hey guys....congrats on your high scores. It's the first time I have taken the SAT, and I have no idea if this is any good as an international: CR: 680 (93%), Math: 780(99%, damn that last slope grid-in.....if I had gotten it right...the score would've been 800:( ) and a 650 on the writing, with an 8 on the essay...I didn't expect to score so low on the CR and WR:) Do you think I should retake? Do the percentiles even show up in the reports sent to colleges, and if yes do they care about them? So a 2110 total score...I still hope they realize that some mistakes were made:) It is possible...they once gave me an extra 10 points in the SAT 2 Chem:P</p>
<p>By the way...I am a Junior from Eastern Europe:)</p>
<p>Nice job wainblatrobert! Yes, colleges do actually look at the percentiles. In fact, that's the purpose of the SAT - to discriminate among applicants! Although, IMO colleges usually have a good idea as to what certain scores represent and usually only look at the %iles to confirm (if at all).</p>
<p>wow... I'm definitely going to have to take this damn test again:
Critical Reading- 750 (98%)
Math- 720 (96%)
Writing- 690, Multiple Choice 66 (score range: 20-80), Essay 10
Total ( SAT w/o writing): 1470 new (w/writing): 2160
This was my first time taking the test; I self-studied for it. I was expecting a 750+ in math and at least a 700 in writing... pretty disappointed. On the plus side, my essay sucked horribly; I made up two fictitious events about Albert Einstein and James Watson and still managed to get a 10 somehow.</p>
<p>Here is a link from college board to the estimate of what the writing percentiles will be when they are set in Aug 2006.</p>
<p>If I were to take the test again, would colleges look at my best scores from each section, or my best scores from one sitting?</p>
<p>Best scores from each section, across sittings.</p>
<p>arg....
I got
cr: 590
wr: 520
math: 640
Im *<strong><em>ed off i practiced so much!! anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? it *</em></strong>es me off cuz, i can do crazy trig/calc and stuff...but i cant do simple SAT math!! i want an 800 for math!</p>
<p>Yay...I win the lowest score award.
CR: 580
WR:550
MATH: 570
(Is it weird that my highest math score is from my freshman year; they've gone downhill from there)</p>
<p>It's hard for me to believe that review would do anything for my scores. I did a little bit, and well, you see the results. My PSAT score was a 670/630/570.</p>
<p>780M 680V 720W (12/12)</p>
<p>Went from a 1390/1970 to a 1460/2180. Woo!</p>
<p>Thanks for the link kcpdmp! Unfortunately it's a bad link. But it's not your fault. I just went on College Board. The link there is bad too. But wait, did it work for you?</p>
<p>Ah, w/e. I imagine a 710 writing score would be in the 90 %iles anyway! :)</p>
<p>Actually the link worked for me. Weird!</p>
<p>710 is really good doolittle! And writing ain't that important a section anyway.</p>
<p>710 is 96% on on the link I sent. But remember this is only an estimate and the official percentiles won't be published until Aug 2006.
I'll try the link again here, it is a pdf, so you need Adobe Acrobat reader.</p>
<p>You can get to the link from this college board page:
<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/scores/understanding/percentiles.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/scores/understanding/percentiles.html</a></p>
<p>Ok thanks. It worked now. I guess I just didn't wait enough for it to load. Usually stuff loads quickly on my computer, so I just assumed it was a bad link. LOL, then again, Adobe originally said it was a damaged file when I saved it to my computer. Ah w/e, 96%!! Awesome.</p>
<p>So that puts me at:</p>
<p>CR: 94%
M: 85%
W: 96%*</p>
<p>Cool!! Thanks kcpdmp and good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>*Estimated, of course :D</p>
