7th ACT --- 22, with straight 22's across the board
8th SAT --- CR 630/ M 520/ W 530

Hopefully I'll do better in high school. That was without studying, anyway, which I'm sure could have helped my scores a good deal. The sad thing is, I'm getting A's in a '10th-grade-math' class. Psh.

did you study for the tests as a 7th or 8th grader, or just "wing it" to see how you would do?

I wung (is that right?) it in 7th grade.

I don't remember the exact number but it was like about 500 each for math and vbl. I don't know how you guys did so well, I hadn't even taken geometry yet!

11th: 740 math 800 vbl (740 writing)

The idea is to wing if you want to use it as a diagnostic tool. There's gifted and then there's highly gifted. It's called above-level testing. When you "wing" it and score 700 or above in math you really got something going there (check Johns Hopkins SET).

SAT Scores - 7th Grade

I got a 800 (total!) when I was in 7th grade on the SAT, and I assumed that (since it wasn't on my score report on collegeboard), that colleges wouldn't see it. I saw the UCI got it, though. Now, It's been 5 years and I got a 31 on the ACT (never took the SAT Reasoning). Obviously, I'm not at that level anymore.

Do you think this will hurt me? Like, the colleges will consider it even a little?

Do you think think this might help me? To show that extremely large amount that I have managed to learn via hard work over the past few years.

Or, do you think it won't be considered and won't help/hurt me?

I'm think it's the third one..

Daughter received 510cr/460m/540w on January SAT as an 8th grader for CTY


She didn't do any studying, and has not had any geometry yet. Also, she realized after the test that "guessing" on some of the questions probably was not a good idea.


Is there any hope for her to receive good scores in the future???

Want to add that she received an 8 on the essay, which I thought, for an eighth grader, was pretty good.
