<p>I didn’t do that well on the math2 because of careless mistakes (hopefully still 800). I find SAT math too easy and I often finish it in less than a fifth of the time. Rather than check my work I just sleep, and sometimes I make careless errors because of this. On the real SAT i will definitely check.</p>
<p>Edit: Whoops, didn’t realize we couldn’t discuss the questions. My head was hurting so badly during the signings. Everyone else was doing it so I thought it was OK.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What do you think we’ve been doing for the past 47 pages?</p>
<p>As for the GPA vs. SAT debate, I think the people who supposedly are getting 800s are getting too full of themselves. Get your egos checked, please.</p>
<p>light airen-</p>
<p>yeah 3145 i may be wrong but i feel like you mixed up the variables. i think it was the other way around which gives the answer of -b. And as of now i think thats the only one i have in question</p>
<p>^^We are allowed to be full of ourselves because we’re better than you non-800’ers.</p>
<p>Kidding aside, we have a point. Some kids, like myself, don’t get into schools they want to be getting into because their GPA is too low due to a tougher school system. Obviously, since I got an 800 on math, it means I’m probably better at math than you, but I get penalized because my school is a b*tch about grading and work.</p>
<p>In other words, why should you get into Stanford when I’m better than you at every section of the SAT (not saying I am, I probably am not because my CR sucks) which would mean I’m probably smarter. It’s called a STANDARDIZED test for a reason.</p>
<p>I probably got like a 200 on this test. It killed me. I was too distracted to accomplish anything. I will certainly be retaking in either October or November.</p>
<p>wondering if this one was easier or harder than most. if then, are there any curve predictions because so far I think I got 2 wrong and skipped 5, so the curve will determine if i get an 800 or like a 780. Does the curve ever go to a raw score as low as 42 or is it generally 44 or 43.</p>
<p>^That’s the other complaint I hear. “I suck at standardized testing, I always get distracted.”</p>
<p>BY WHAT!? I take the test in the same type room as you and I stay focused all 60 minutes! If you have that short of an attention span, maybe I should have your place at Yale where I can actually succeed.
No admissions counselors should cry for students who are “bad standardized test takers”. There’s no such thing - you guys who use that excuse just didn’t bother to learn the rules/strategies of the test and you don’t deserve to go to a top school.</p>
<p>If a school is really interested in you, they would look into how your school system is structured.</p>
<p>And I dont have anything against standardized tests. Just braggers. Nobody cares.</p>
<p>Would you want to sit through somebody telling you how awesome their resume is and how they’re going to easily get into Harvard and all? Yeah, it gets kind of stupid. Keep it to yourself, please, that’s all I’m asking.</p>
<p>anyone agree with me and light airen?</p>
<p>AH! first time i took it today. XO I LEFT TWO UNANSWERED ■■■. I’m such a fail. T_T</p>
<p>Is the curve gonna be 43?!</p>
<p>wahooooooooooooo, the math 2 test was such a breeze, thanks the meylani 15 tests…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If the world was as cold as you, I’ll be really depressed. I’m just thankful standardized tests are only a portion of what colleges look at when considering who to choose. Besides, since when did standardized tests constitute intelligence as a whole? Every person is different, everybody excels in different areas of life. You can’t simply categorize people like that.</p>
<p>It’s as pure a category as it gets. How can you not categorize academic intelligence by it? It’s standardized - nobody has an advantage.</p>
<p>what do you guys think the curve is gonna be?</p>
<p>Anyone got the curve for May?</p>
<p>Not the place to fight about the use of standardize questions. Someone please answer my question about the absolute value one. anyone agree with -b?</p>
<p>45 will give 800, i don’t think anyone could have answered all the last few questions correctly</p>
<p>Here is something I wrote a few days ago on another thread:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>While it may be comforting to say that there is no general intelligence that can be measured by a test and that everyone has his or her own strengths, such a practice denies the intercorrelations that exist among these strengths and the strong evidence for g, the general intelligence factor.</p>
<p>I think I got +b. I remember testing -3 for b and got -3…</p>
