***October 2015 SAT (US Only) Thread***

Do you guys think that a 2290 (730 CR, 770 M, 790 W) would be considered bad by Ivy League schools? I’m actually really happy with my score because I never scored higher than a 2160 on any of my practice tests, so I was super surprised seeing this.

I really don’t want to take it again, but I’m just a bit irritated with the fact that if I had gotten one more math question correct, I would’ve gotten a 2320…

@neoking You’re over 2250, you’re golden for Ivy leagues! Is this the book btw: http://www.amazon.com/The-Critical-Reader-Erica-Meltzer/dp/1479224715/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdt_img_top?ie=UTF8?

@PartyNextDoor Yup, that’s it! And I really do hope you’re right.

Is the site back up, does anyone know?
I couldn’t log in 45 mins ago.

2390… holy god I’m done with this standarized testing bullsh*t forever

I got an 800 on CR, and I know two that I missed.
@ambitionsquared
Provide a Rationale
Uninterested in Details
Analytical
Unease
Ominous
No Error

I think these are what I put, but there’s a slight chance I’m wrong

Why is my score not in yet? I got to the score page and it says my test is complete but no score… Anyone with the same problem?

Hi.
I really want to go to UC Berkeley.
I got a composite score of 2200 (650 CR, 770 Math, 780 Writing).
I have a 3.9 unweighted GPA and 4.4 Weighted GPA.
What are my chances of getting into UC Berkeley, Carnegie Melon, or Cornell?

Got an 800 CR:

Trace the origins of a philosophy
Uninterested in details
analytical
Unease
Ominous Possibility

Got 800 W w/ 80/80 subscore
No Error for sinuous/curves question

1990… little disappointed, got my math up (690 M/660 R/630 W) but my other ones went down from last time. (720 R/ 640 M/ 640 W) and my overall score is down ten points. Superscored it’s 2050 now, but I want to go to UCLA or Berkeley the most and they only take composites. I actually studied for this one too, didn’t even study first time.
I was feeling so confident after the test too. I thought I had gotten close to an 800 in math, I felt so good.
Sigh, I guess all I can do now is try to kill it in December.

Did anyone get 69/80 and 12 essay on writing? If you did what score did that translate to?

@johnlimster
Its more efficient to make a new thread
This is not really for chances

But 2200 is good for those schools depending on what major. just write a good essay and ull be fine and try to bring that CR score to like a 700 it looks better than 650 especially since ure considering schools of that caliber

Math: 780
Writing: 730
Reading: 680

Totoal: 2190

I got 67/80 and 9 essay which gave me 690 writing.

I’m pretty sure the Math Curve went something like this by the way

-0 800
-1 770
-2 740
-3 720
-4 710

@johnlimster For Berkeley it depends on if you are in state or out of state. Also I would need to know your UC GPA (10-11 Grades only in A-G Classes) to really evaluate your chances. But as long as your write fairly good essays I would say that you have as good of a chance as anyone can have.

Hey guys, I got 720 CR, 770 M, 750 W w/ 10 Essay. Do you guys think there is hope for me to increase my score into the 2300+ range by Dec or Jan? Also would you guys recommend prep scholar? I’ve already exhausted the bluebook tests.

Was -3 critical reading a 770? Because I missed “provide a rationale”, “finicky”, and “doesn’t care about details”.

Haven’t gotten my score yet… Anyone know why

got a 2290. wouldn’t be disappointed except for the fact that i got 740 on math. Does that mean i missed 2 questions?
