why r ppl b****ing about 690s and 700s

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>i'm sick of people who get upset about the fact that they got say a 680 rather than a 730 or people who complain about getting in the 2200s rather than in the 2300s for that matter. The SAT isn't everything for that matter and it won't make a difference to the college if there is a discrepancy of 50 points in the scores of two applicants</p>

<p>im sick of people who complain about people who say they are unhappy with 690s and 700s. people have every right to be upset when they don't score as high as they like. they Should retake the test if they can do better. </p>

<p>50 points doesn't matter, but 100 points is significant.</p>

3

<p>Everybody has different goals, and truth be told, there is a distinct difference between a 720 and a 680...and that's usually only what, 3 questions?</p>

4

<p>It's like the difference between a 99 and a 100 in a class (A vs. A+) for me.
The A+ makes you feel better. :)</p>

5

<p>680 - 730 in 3 sections accounts for 150 points...tell me there isn't a difference between 2040 and 2190.</p>

<p>Different standards. I complained about the 640 because it was over a 100 point decrease. Out of curiosity metsfan, what did you score? I don't really know, but I usually assume that people that score lower than the nitpicky ones are the ones that ask about the score. For instance, someone with a 2000 might tell someone with a 2150 not to complain that they didn't get 2200. I don't know about you in particular though, which is why I ask.</p>

7

<p>yeah, different standards.</p>

8

<p>I scored a 1990 since you were curious, but I wanted something closer to a 2100, which i cuda gotten if my proctor hadn't called time 5 mins before he was supposed to on three of the sections.</p>

<p>Because those scores suck...</p>

<p>I got a 2110
math: 700
c.r. 700
writing 710
essay 10</p>

<p>Some people may be satisfied with that, but for me, I set the bar a little higher.</p>
