<p>Everyone on this forum is looking for new ways to raise their score up to at least 2000+… (some lower maybe)</p>
<p>My question is that if you aren’t aiming for an elite college, why would you still want an off-the-page or an amazing SAT score? What other colleges than the elites even need that? Are there other things that come with the amazing SAT score except an acceptance?</p>
<p>I would imagine a good SAT score could help one receive merit scholarships at less selective schools. I think a lot of it, though, just has to do with the prestige and satisfaction of getting a good score.</p>
<p>lmao i like how you guys have to be so patronizing to a simple question. you guys are taking it like it’s an attack on you…the op was just asking a simple question.</p>
<p>It’s a perfectly reasonable question. From a certain perspective, it seems ludicrous that people (myself included) would put so much time into a standardized test.</p>
<p>exactly. it seems pathetic and pointless when you can otherwise spend your time doing more useful things. but based on the responses by some of the posters here, i doubt that they have anything better to do.</p>
<p>i dont spend much time at all studying for the sat, at most an hour or two every few days. i’m investing a few hours into my future. i dont know about you, but that doesn’t seem pathetic or pointless. but whatever floats your boat. have fun watching tv, i suppose?</p>
