<p>Just curious, how much do you think a perfect SAT score is worth? I mean people will fork over $999 for a (at least) 200 point gain with a SAT class. So how much monetary value would you place a 2400? (Like if you could pay to get a 2400, how much would you think you would have to pay?)</p>
<p>If people could pay to get a 2400, then it would have no value to me. Why? Because then having a 2400 would mean nothing.</p>
<p>^^ well OBVIOUSLY. OP means something else</p>
<p>i would say $1,000,000, just because some rich people are willing to donate an entire building so their grandkids can get in</p>
<p>i heard people being paid 2 grand at a school near me for a score in the 2100’s (keep in mind the ‘average’ person only scores in the 1700’s or so)</p>
<p>the student body office would create fake school ID’s for these cheaters for money, then the cheaters would make money off taking tests for people</p>
<p>however, they were caught (well some of them were) and blacklisted</p>
<p>Yes, from what I’ve heard, those who can guarantee a 2200 can easily command a 5 figure price to take the test for someone.</p>
<p>Now that’s classy…</p>
<p>My students occasionally ask me to take the exam for them (I hope they are joking). I tell them that my minimum fee is $10,000. 
(The value of a 2400 itself is hard to estimate. I would probably put it between $25,000 and $1 million. A great SAT score certainly opens up many more schools for a student in most cases, but, ultimately, it’s what one does with the college education and what he or she accomplishes AFTER college that matter most.)</p>
<p>Test security needs to be beefed up for the SAT. It’s too easy for unscrupulous test-takers to gain an unfair advantage on the exam. I’m still waiting for the day when the SAT goes to the computer format (something that has been done for exams such as the GRE and GMAT and will allow for MANY more test dates), and every test-taker will be required to provide an electronic thumb print to verify his or her identity (not to mention photographed and videotaped). Most proctors for the SAT are poorly trained or not trained at all (and paid very little) and either do not time the sections strictly or do not monitor the students very closely (or both). I’ve actually heard, in the worst offense, of at least one high school in which a proctor started the exam for a group of approximately 15 students and simply left the room for about 3.5 hours. You can imagine what the students did during that time…</p>
<p>
especially when they don’t even check ID or pockets, etc and the adviser doesn’t pay attention and, at times, gives an extra 5 mins because s/he thinks sections are 30 mins instead of 25.</p>
<p>To me a 2400 costs about $65.</p>
<p>^HAHA that’s the best answer I’ve seen yet.</p>
<p>hipster, dont forget the luck!</p>
<p>I think a 2400 is worth a box of Chicken McNuggets.</p>
<p>I would imagine it would send up red flags to the adcom when the 2400 didn’t match the rest of the app.</p>
<p>SAT is reasoning.
School is academic.</p>
<p>two completely different things. (not antipodal different, but still different)</p>
<p>My valedictorian has a 4.0. she has a 1920 on her SAT’s
I have a 3.72. I got 2300 on my SAT.</p>
<p>see?</p>
