<p>People in my school routinely get 1200 and 1300. I know of several this year, and they were not surprised by their score. Honestly, to someone who just doesn’t care about academics, it’s easy to see how the test can be so baffling. </p>
<p>For example, I got a 165 on my PSAT. Our counselor calls students in groups to discuss their scores, and she singled me out and used my test as a reference for the group because I (as a junior) “had done very well” </p>
<p>Technically if you intentionally picked every single answer to be incorrect (which in itself would be time consuming!), what would the score be? 200-.25(X) ?</p>
<p>In order to get everything incorrect intentionally, you would have to know all the right answers. If you simply guessed, you would have to be really unlucky.</p>
<p>If you got everything wrong, or if you answered no questions, that still translates to a 200 on each section. They mean the same thing because, in the end, you failed to net any points in your favor. Any points in your favor bump your score up from 200, all the way to the 800 which is either perfect or near-perfect.</p>
<p>no, usually if you answer no questions you get like a 260, depending on the section you could get as high as a 300. You need to get a negative score to get a 200, but you don’t need to miss them all.</p>
<p>People on this forum are egotistical ass holes. The first time I took the SAT I got a 1630 and I just took it again in May and am hoping for a 2000+, does that make me a ■■■■■■ you cocky CCers?</p>
<p>Back a few years ago, the lowest score was a 200 from a relative of mine. He was somewhat mentally handicapped (but ended up going to a decent private college). The College Board actually called the family to try and figure out how it happened – evidently, you actually have to try to get a 200. It just doesn’t magically happpen from sheer stupidity.</p>
<p>What a witty retort, you must have really harnessed all the intelligence thats helping you on your way to your incredibly impressive goal.
I don’t understand why people like you ask rhetorical questions, what are you hoping to gain? Some sort of justification for your rank outside of the top decile nationwide on test scores?</p>
<p>everyone says, “the sat doesn’t meeasure intelligence”. </p>
<p>But get real, it does. </p>
<p>there is a very strong corrolation between sat scores and the things we use to measure “intelligence”- grades, difficulty of classes, extraculrricular achivements, etc.</p>
<p>so, unless you can offer an alternate definition of intelligence, yes, the sat measures it. </p>
<hr>
<p>and as for the lowest score, a kid in my grade got likee an 80 on the psat, it was beloew the tenth percentile lol. the whole school found out- he flaunted it.</p>
<p>@Xtol123 Many people on this forum come across as a$$holes because CC is somewhere where they can talk about their very high scores, and are respected/complimented for them. This comes as a frustration after years of “dumb jocks” at their school getting lots of recognition for throwing a ball through a hoop or kicking a ball through a net, while their hours and hours of studying earn them no recognition, and rather they get insulted and ridiculed by their mentally inferior peers. Thus they can come to CC and find likeminded people and openly share their scores, and get support/constructive criticism.</p>
<p>Think about how frustrated you are with CCers, and then realize that most of us CCers are just as frustrated with people who brag (in real life) about how they can run blah blah blah km in blah minutes, or how many goals they scored in whatever sport.</p>
<p>They have to go through that $hit all day, you only have to when you come on CC, which is a choice you make.</p>
