<p>I think it's perfectly fine to be a little jealous of a 5th grader. Who wouldn't want such a score at that age? That'd be pretty wild.</p>
<p>friend of mine got 1050 in 7th, 1080 in 8th, 1460 as a junior, and 1550 as a senior... if you wanna see a progression...</p>

You write as though you think you are more mature than a seventh grader and yet when a seventh grader gets a score of 1320, you are busy trying to discourage the seventh grader.

Sorry sonny, I've gotta life to live. Anyhoo, I just found out that I passed the trig/pre-calculus finals at school and so I get to do Calculus BC next year. I'll be a sophomore--WoOt!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D <em>party</em></p>
<p>thats crazy my name is actually sonny.....ur in calc..... u nerd</p>
<p>OMG REALLLY???????? Your name is Sonny??? That's awesome. Well...hello Sonny....oh, and unless anyone didn't hear this before, I will say it again:</p>
<p>I am the ultimate nerd. :)</p>
<p>lol its cool i wish i was that smart ...woohoo pre cal as a senior!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I got an 1030 in 7th Grade, 1100 in 8th and sent in a 1440 to my colleges. Accepted to Columbia ED. Not all of us make it to that 1500 mark...lol</p>

<p>Lucky!! Maan..i've wanted to do that forever but my school won't let me. stupid rural schools.</p>
<p>Man, this thread makes me (a senior) feel pathetic. However, I can be content in knowing that I will be in an Ivy next year.</p>
<p>WHat??!?! if it makes you feel pathetic how do u think it makes us peons feel who only got a 3.5/1200 or so dang c'mon here.....what are ur stats if they are low..it might give me some encouragement....heh.</p>
<p>Woah.....I haven't logged in for a long time. Hmm. Well I got above 1000. And yes, congrats to TinyEinstein, and any other young high scorers. </p>
<p>"IMO, I think its pretty ridiculous for a 5th grader to take the SAT...."</p>
<p>It was for an engineering summer program at a local college, and I was very interested in science at that age, so I wanted to participate. I didn't know anything about the test, and I remember being very confused and nervous. They gave me a lot of weird math tests while I was in there.</p>
<p>My friend got a 1400 in 8th grade, but he just took it for the hell of it. Too bad we didn't know about talent search, prep schools, and all that jazz.</p>
<p>Just to add to what someone said about how being an SAT prodigy doesn't guarantee anything as a junior...
all my brother's friends took the sat as 8th graders (my brother was at a different school and didn't take it) and got 1000-1300 range...recently all the friends got together and were talking about their sats and every single one barely scored 50 points above their 8th grade sat...and that, my friend, is either drugs or that they got too full of themselves, "Hey, I got a 1250 in 8TH grade...i'm in 11th now, i'm totally going to get a 1600 without studying too much"</p>
<p>I didn't know that they let younger kids take the SAT.</p>
<p>Now imagine how well the 5th grader would do if he/she studied a PR book that taught them all those tricks....</p>
<p>I know a sixth-grader who got a 1370 (570 V, 800 M) last year. He took the test to qualify for summer programs, and took it through one of the regional talent search programs. I have heard of a local guy, a college student now, who got a pair of 800s--I think just after his thirteenth birthday, but I could be mistakena about his age at the time. </p>
<p>I second the recommendation to sign up for [url=<a href="http://www.jhu.edu/gifted/set/index.html%5DSET%5B/url">http://www.jhu.edu/gifted/set/index.html]SET[/url</a>] for people who score at eligible levels. An invitation to apply is automatic for people who test through the Johns Hopkins regional talent search and get a qualifying score, but people in other regions have to contact SET on their own.</p>
<p>Oh, and P.S., I rather doubt that studying cram books is the way to go to get high SAT I scores. The most effective way to study for those tests, if you choose to study for them at all, is to do an actual old test (published by the College Board) under regular time limits. Then THINK about the answers you got wrong, and why they are the right answers. The best general preparation for high scores on the SAT I, which came "naturally" for me (I grew up in the generation before everyone prepped for these tests) is to READ, READ, READ, and READ, and to THINK about math instead of just doing it by blind memorization. That worked well for me, and it appears still to be the best way to prepare for college entrance tests in general.</p>
