<p>Better than ACTs… and everyone knows it.</p>
<p>Nah…</p>

<p>the most tortuous part of first semester. Every SAT that was offered fall 2011, I took. Only went up 30 points overall. But I’m doing pretty well for myself college-wise if I do say so myself. :)</p>
<p>meh. ACT is a lot easier in my opinion</p>
<p>I kinda had fun taking them. It was like taking a trivia quiz. I didn’t prep at all though, which I figure would take the fun out of it and make it stressful.</p>
<p>Fun 
The actual test that is, not the wait for the results. Like another poster said, a bit like a trivia game.</p>
<p>The two posters above me are clearly not of the same species as the rest of us.</p>
<p>trivia game. Fools! Your future is on the line here not a couple thousand dollars. And if it was truly like a trivia game then so are everything else that have multiple choice.</p>
<p>A requirement for the colleges I’m looking at. Even worse, they have SAT tests for subject areas like math and biology, which are infamously known as SAT Subject tests.</p>
<p>The only fun part of the SAT was the Math section because it was so easy.</p>
<p>Well… Until you realize that you got 1 question wrong and dramatically decrease your SAT score ^</p>
<p>^^ Yea it pretty easy to make a mistake in math section especially if it’s easy.</p>
<p>How does one mistake dramatically decrease the score? I got one wrong and scored a 790.</p>
<p>^^Because you actually loses a point for wrong answer. Can’t you see that sarcasm…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say “drastically” but 1 wrong on the math can cost you up to 40 points, however that is rare and it’s usually 20-30 points.</p>
<p>It kinda is.
Look at the difference of 4 points: 210 AND 214
The first one, I’m NOT a semifinalist of my state and the second one I’ve got the bragging rights</p>
<p>Well I know I’m talking about the PSAT, but they have similar formats</p>
<p>Oh, I got a 178 on my PSATs, beyond the point of hope. Still managed a 2220 SAT score, so whatever. I’m proof that PSATs are not good indicators of how well you’ll score on the SATs.</p>
<p>I salute you, poster #37!</p>

<p>I found math to be very, very difficult (my score was only a 560) and reading to be quite easy (I received a 750), but I suppose my skill sets are just in a different area.</p>
<p>@Samonuh: Congratz! That SAT score is AMAZING! And I second poster #38!</p>
