To all you crazy high-achievers on the SATs...

<p>Vagrant Star: Thank you so much for starting this thread, I've been telling people the same thing, to stop complaining about their 2250s just because it wasn't a 2300 (heck, I even saw a few people whine about 2300s because it wasn't a perfect).</p>

Furthermore, the SAT 1 and ACT combined/composite scores are a joke...The highest scores always bleong to the reading/literature types of student rather than the mathematically/scientifically inclined. Reason is that it is A LOT easier for one who is a reader type to get a 720 or whatever on Math than it is for a Math guy to get the same on CR or even Verbal. Plus, 2/3 of the SAT is english.. On the ACT the science area is all common sense and is more about reading than mathematical conclusions you make. I consider 3/4 of that test to be rigged towards the reader types out there.

<p>I'm a math person with a 34ACT composite...so while it is ridiculous for people to complain about a 2280, it's equally ridiculous to complain about the test being rigged towards certain people. It's also, to a point, ridiculous to complain about people who complain about their 2280s. There have been countless threads on the subject.</p>

<p>scholarships that award only based on test scores are stupid.</p>

<p>Why do you guys care so much if we want higher scores? It's like when somebody with a 100 avg in a class complains about getting a 94 on a test. Everyone else moans and is like "shut up I'd kill for a 94". Yeah a 94 is still a good score, but its subpar for someone who's been getting 100s all year round. </p>

<p>The same thing applies to people on the SAT. I got a 1500/1600 with a 700 on math. I knew how to do almost every question on the math part, but made dumb mistakes. I feel like my score doesn't represent my ability, so I'm still debating whether i should retake in the fall.</p>

<p>LOL @ madskier... ahh funny stuff.</p>
