<p>gusy im really freakin out…i did really bad on the sat …soo the maerican avarage is 1500 with 500/500/500 and i have 1620…but even though is above avarage as an overal…i have CR 480/M 530/ W 610…does that count as below avarage and would schools that require 1500 not even recognize me?</p>
<p>What schools are you looking at? A 1620 is low for most schools people talk about on CC, but it could be on the high side for some lesser-known colleges. It all depends on the places you’re considering.</p>
<p>Michigan State University
Montana State University
Dearborn
Adrian College
AND FAR REACH (ANN ARBOR)</p>

<p>Btw i did bad cus i was drunk that day </p>
<p>You’re an idiot…</p>
<p>^ I always thought the average was somewhere around 1800-2000? Correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>^The average is around 500 for each section. The college board posts this info on their site.</p>
<p>1511 was the average score in 2007 [SAT</a> Average (Mean) Scores](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Understanding SAT Scores – SAT Suite | College Board)</p>
<p>lolilaughed, you have been hanging out at cc - where the average seems to be above 2000!!!</p>
<p>Oh - and I don’t know if there are any schools that “require” a certain score, they will look at your entire record including your SATs. Your job is to find colleges that enroll students with profiles similar to yours (and there are plenty).</p>
<p>^ Haha! That’s what I thought when I read Hippo’s post. I guess it is also because from the area where I live, the average is usually around 2000 as well.</p>
<p>^My post wasn’t in regard to the average SAT score but rather to the fact that the OP was drunk while he took the exam.</p>
<p>And that is an excellent point, Hippo. I wouldn’t use “drunk” as an extenuating circumstance in essays or interviews, pegasus.</p>
<p>Why would you take the SAT 2…inebriated…in the morning??</p>
<p>k guys lets look at the bright side im taking it again in october :P</p>
<p>Then…why even bother worrying about your SAT score now? Your other stats indicate your intelligence so wait until then.</p>
<p>thnx…but u kno im just worried i wont do as good as i want…i mean …yeah …im worried…</p>
<p>do u guys suggest i focus on the readin section try to get a good score on that and keep the other 2 sections liek that?</p>
<p>I would try staying away from the hard stuff and you might be fine on test day.</p>
<p>The reading section is the hardest section to get more points on. You might be better off studying the other two sections.</p>
<p>yah but my readin section is below avarage whilst my writin is over 600…</p>
<p>I think a good studying strategy would be reading up on the effects of alcohol on the brain’s cognitive abilities.</p>
