<p>umm well personally if somebody asks me i tell them straight up… my score was good but its not like “wow! u should go to harvard!” good </p>
<p>they are definitely below the CC average… if somebody asks me and if they did not score to well and i happen to know this (lets say they got a 1650) i tell them straight up and bask in the glory… lol</p>
<p>if somebody scored a bit higher than me (lets say 2100) or a bit lower (lets say 1950) i tell them straight up i got a 2050 and then talk about how i got lucky (if i scored higher) or how i got screwed over on one part (if i did worse)…</p>
<p>now if somebody blew me out of the water (lets say this person got a 2300) i tell them well my best single sitting was 2050 (which is not a lie) i really sell the fact that it was the best single sitting… my first time was 1870 my second was 2050 and my superscore was 2050… then when they press for the superscore i play it like it was a joke and say a 2050 and laugh a bit and then i can go into a different conversation from that… i actually enjoy talking about colleges and scores and w/e</p>
<p>personally i enjoy how jmanco49 deals with the situation… “have fun going to community college”</p>
<p>well, I say a 1960 without a hesitation. A 1960 might be well below average in America, but it rocks in here. Kids here don’t really study English. LOL</p>
<p>And, yeah, not many people ask me this question, as not many people know what SAT even is. LOL again.</p>
<p>LOL I was in the lunchline a while ago when I saw a guy ask a girl what her SAT score was (both of them are very cut-throat) The girl seemed very hesitant and finally said, “it’s sitting at a low 2400” and the guy kinda laughed it off. But, I don’t know why I wouldn’t tell…I mean, it’s not like they’re going to change my score, or it’s not like they are going to suddenly go get a 2400 after knowing my score…</p>
<p>I feel awkward talking about my score because I was sick when I took the exam and it’s really not up to what I expected (from a practice test and my PSAT). When people ask, I just tell them that I was sick and that I’ll retake, knowing that my score is still pretty good coming from my school.</p>
<p>Personally, I would strongly advise against sharing a good score because it does more harm than good. Aside from accusations of arrogance, it tends to diminish the accomplishments of others. I made the mistake of seeing what I got during homeroom (where there is no privacy, but I couldn’t resist waiting for a few more hours). My friend was ecstatic about receiving a 2320 (which obviously, is an exceptional score), but when he saw that I got a 2400, he immediately became sullen. So if you don’t enjoy making others feel inferior (of course, different people react differently; it certainly depends on the person), keep a good score to yourself.</p>
<p>After which they always press for numbers (1270). Ah. I hate it.</p>
<p>I hateee discussing test scores with people. If you do better, they think you’re bragging. Even if they asked. If you do worse, then it’s like “Ohh, you’re smart and I did better than you. SUCK IT” and I’m like “Okay?” </p>
<p>no but seriously, i say “i did well.” if they ask for numbers (they always do…), i say, “well, i was pretty lucky this time and i managed to score a 2400. i studied a lot though.” there’s no need to deceive anyone.</p>
<p>sat scores are an easy way to shrink everyone down to a single number and classify them. if its totally skewed and unfair, whoever is asking for your sats just wants to compare themself to you and you to everyone else in your school. its absurd, and not even my best friend or boyfriend know. because if they did, we would catagorize ourselves, 1, 2, 3. and thats dumb.</p>
<p>I usually just say “I did okay, but I’m taking it again” if I don’t know the person.
If it’s a friend I obviously just tell them.
If someone presses for the exact score I just tell them “I got a 1940, how did you do?” Although my score isn’t exactly stellar by CC standards, I have one of the highest scores at my school.
So usually I feel pretty good for the few seconds that they’re surprised I did “so amazing” in their eyes, but then I remember how average I did for the schools I want to go to and I get depressed again haha.
Before I took the SAT when people would ask me, I would say “I’ve only taken the ACT and I got a 28.”
They’d immediately ask me “Is that good?” or “What’s the ACT?!” haha</p>
<p>i’ve taken the SAT once so far and I got a 2010. When I told my friends at school, word spread like wildfire…people were AMAZED at how FANTASTIC and “RAPE” my score was…I was feeling it was a pretty good score…then I went on CC…</p>
