<p>Youdon’tsay ~ congrats to S on hitting the 1410 he needed! Have a good day.</p>
<p>Thanks, momof2010, and congrats on your ds’s score, too. If only this were just for NMSF purposes for my ds. He is commended, and this score was 40 points higher than the PSAT equivalent, so he’s moving in the right direction. I think my advice to him, if he asks for it, is to be happy but maybe take it again in October just to see. He doesn’t have a spare moment this spring to think about anything but AP tests and his remaining Subject Test.</p>
<p>Congrats to all your kids. I don’t even know them, but I’m feeling kinda proud of them. :)</p>
<p>DougBetsy ~ sorry to hear about your son’s friend. I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like to deal with something like that. We have a 1st grade boy down the street that had emergency surgery to have a brain stem tumor removed last week ~ sounds like it was the good kind of tumor (if there is such a thing). We also have a 40-something mom across the street with 3 elementary/middle school aged children that has been battling cancer for a couple of years and recently found out it had progressed to stage IV melanoma. The prognosis does not sound good. All we can do is pray and hope for a miracle (they do happen).</p>
<p>Have a good day.</p>
<p>Oh, I thought they were releasing at 8AM sharp… so glad I thought to check CC this morning! 800 Lit and 760 Math II (o.0 at this, I was barely hitting 700 on Barrons), which means I am DONE with SAT IIs.</p>
<p>mom2010grad - Congrats! Yay for your S being done!</p>
<p>Youdon’tsay - congrats to you too! He made the all-important scholarship threshold he needed. </p>
<p>D came down and told me her score a little while - +50 in CR (Yay!), + 10 in M, and -20 in writing. Not sure whether she’s done yet, though she should be. She said she’s going to talk to her GC about it. I am so relieved as I wasn’t sure what to expect this time around.</p>
<p>Congratulations, Keilexandra. Great scores! And you’re done with SAT IIs!</p>
<p>keilexandra, that must feel great!</p>
<p>LImom, hopefully the GC will say it’s good enough. A 60-point increase in the CR+M sounds pretty good to me. I wish ds would talk to his GC instead of asking me everything. :)</p>
<p>Congratulations. D did not take the SATs last month so we have no scores to report.</p>
<p>QM - Will you be joining me in the March 14 vigil? ;)</p>
<p>Yes, D will be taking the SAT in March. I guess our score vigil will be sometime in April, though. I hope she increases her score as much as she did from her PSATs. Then she’ll be done. Otherwise, we do it again!</p>
<p>DB, first of all, so sorry to hear about your son’s friend. And I’ll be joining you and QM for the March SAT watch - if S goes up as much as he did from his soph to junior year PSAT I will be ecstatic, although I don’t think that’s going to happen. Congratulations to all the great scores above!</p>
<p>Youdon’tsay - I’m pretty content with D’s scores this time around. I suspect her GC will have her take the test again - though a 2210 is a perfectly good score. It’s just that it’s so competitive these days!</p>
<p>Right. </p>
<p>Son is doing the March 14 SAT and the online scores will be ready April 2. I sure hope he forgets to look at them. Whatever the outcome, they could be a distraction from his April 4 ACT. </p>
<p>I envy all you “one and dones.” I’m pretty sure he’ll be repeating in the fall. He needs 650M + 650CR to be at the midpoint of many of his schools. Attainable, but I’m not counting on first try.</p>
<p>DB, add me to the cyberlist of well wishers. Good energy can’t hurt. It has to be so hard on any family.</p>
<p>Limomof2 ~ congrats on your daughter’s great score. It has to be so stressful for these kids trying to get into competitive schools these days. Back in the day you took the test once and sent it in. Hopefully she’ll make the retake decision based on what she wants to do rather than the GC.</p>
<p>congrats on the great scores all. Next test for D is Apr ACT, already registered.</p>
<p>Good wishes to all the students who are done with their SAT. I will join the March 14 SAT crew with the April vigil. Scores will come in just a few days before our planning college road trip to NorCal.</p>
<p>My son left to drive to school (12 mile drive) a little disappointed with his SAT scores. All put in perspective when a breaking news bulletin came across my computer 15 minutes later that there was a nasty accident on the route he takes to school. And he wasn’t answering his cell phone.</p>
<p>Called the Dean who was just sending an email to faculty to excuse tardies due to the traffic – the main road was closed and huge traffic tieups – he apparently added a note to the faculty to locate my son on campus and have him call home! He called 5 minutes later – he’d passed the accident right after it happened but before there were traffic delay and arrived at school early. I’m impressed with the school’s quick response to my concern.</p>
<p>(The accident turned out to be 1 car hit a tree, no injuries, but the major north-south artery in our area closed for 30 minutes at major drive time. )</p>
<p>LIMomof2, congrats on the great score. Even if she decides to take it again there won’t be that much pressure since she knows she’s got a good score to fall back on.</p>
