<p>@TeamRocketGrunt Really? The ACT essays don’t even require solid examples.</p>
<p>@alzhao I’m pretty sure you’re allowed to give prompts. Anyway, I heard a few people got a prompt about should schools require students to volunteer. I’m worried I’m going to get an ACT prompt for SAT December because I’m not about to start studying for the ACT essay now.</p>
<p>@Woandering I got a prompt about whether cooperation with other people will lead to more success than working individually. I wouldn’t worry too much about the ACT prompt because I’m probably going to retake in January</p>
<p>@alzhao That’s a normal SAT prompt. It’s weird; other than my SAT tutor’s contact, I haven’t found anyone else who has seen the ACT prompt on the SAT.</p>
<p>I need to register for the SAT lol
the last time I took a practice test was about a month ago and I got very nice scores in CR and W but as for math, not so much. </p>
<p>Speaking of SAT, we’re probably getting PSAT scores back pretty soon. Haha. :’( </p>
<p>College Board website says student score reports are sent to schools early December, but there aren’t any definite dates. </p>
<p>It’s around that time that everyone starts getting paranoid that they just missed the cutoff. /: At least I don’t live in New Jersey.</p>
<p>It’s so weird that they send out PSAT scores after October and November SAT scores… oh well.</p>
<p>I pulled off an 800 in math, 760 reading, 720 writing (8 essay). Disappointed by my essay score; I thought I had done really well on it. </p>
<p>My school got PSAT scores on December 10 last year, I think. </p>
<p>I’d be happy if I even got close to the cut-off, to be honest. I’m not too confident with my score.</p>
<p>I always found it odd that PSAT scores took longer to come back even though there is no essay section. </p>
<p>Is it because everybody gets a score report and their original test booklet back?</p>
<p>That could be it. I doubt that the analysis of the score takes any longer, but printing score reports would take time. Also, schools generally get reports and then distribute them to students, so that accounts for time as well.</p>
<p>I just need to know what I got so I can convert PSAT scores to SAT ones and then compare equivalent ACT scores to see whether or not it’d be worth my time to sign up for the SAT in March (though I’ll probably end up signing up for it anyway).</p>
<p>I’m registering for the SAT I in January. I think my school offers it for free in April, I’m hoping that it will be the last time I have to take it. Planning on taking Bio M and Lit for subject tests.</p>
<p>I’m almost certain I’m going to take the US History subject test in January, but I’m not sure about the other one (my reach for next year only requires two, and I’m not sitting through a minute more of testing then I have to). My goal’s to be done with testing by May of this year, and hopefully that will be the case :)</p>
<p>Well guys, I just read this article about how elite colleges aren’t that difficult to get accepted to. What do you guys think; is it legit, or just giving me false hope?</p>
<p><a href=“College admissions: Do 80 percent of top students get into an elite college?”>http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2014/12/01/college_admissions_do_80_percent_of_top_students_get_into_an_elite_college.html</a></p>
<p>Why can’t I see my SAT score report? It’s December 2nd…</p>
<p>I’m planning on taking the SAT II tests for Biology M, Chemistry, and Math II. </p>
<p>@alzhao This article isn’t exactly saying that elite colleges aren’t hard to get into. More than that, it’s explaining the effects of Common Application. Acceptance rates are going down because students are applying to more colleges. And naturally, by applying to more top-tier colleges, the odds of an individual getting accepted to one increases (or at least levels off a bit). According to the article, 80% of “top students” get into elite colleges. What bothers me is that there’s no real description of what Carey qualifies to be a top student. We need that information to asses the “80%” situation. I think it’s legitimate to an extent, but whether or not it’s false hope depends on how you interpreted the article, and also, of course, whether or not you’d be considered a “top student.” I don’t think it’d be false hope for you. If the idea of going to a top-tier motivates you, run with it. You definitely have a chance of acceptance, and if you don’t get into one, you’ll still be better off having put in the effort. </p>
<p>For my SAT IIs, I am taking Physics, Chemistry, US History, and Math II. I all ready took Biology M (750) but I probably won’t submit because it’s lower than I would like to have. And I hope with actually preparing I will pull an 800 on the others. One can dream right?</p>
<p>What would you say is a good score for Bio M?
Put into consideration that by the time I take it I will have had a year and a half of biology under my belt. How much detail is expected?</p>
