[Standard score - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](Standard score - Wikipedia)

If you’ve taken stats you should know what z-scores are.
If you don’t they are basically standardized variables that can compare ANYTHING (yes even apples to oranges). This is how the SAT works. It is a STANDARDIZED test used to compare EVERYONE in the WORLD at how “smart” they are.
If you are, what you claim to be a 100% AP LANG student, you should get a 12 on the essay no problem right? If you are in the “finite” math class and you get a 97%, you should be able to do some simple math right? Obviously not.
First, you getting a 100% in ap lang seems false or your teacher sucks (seriously sucks meaning doesn’t do anything). 2nd, you might be good at upper level math, but the question is , are you going to use that stuff when you grow up? There are so many things in life we don’t need yet we learn them.

SAT MATH: tests reasoning, your logic, your common sense, your “basic” algebra math. IT is NOT that hard to study for it.

SAT READING: simple reading comprehension (some suck at it, some rule at it). IT doesn’t matter if you are reading about some 500 old article. Read it. Analyze it. I mean, isn’t that what you learned in AP LANG? To effectively analyze and write a rhetorical analysis or argument? Right? Am I wrong? Obviously I am right. All I see in your arguments are rage. The fact that you are not on par with the dumbest students. The Vocabulary (Sentence completions) are constructed just fine. If you memorize vocab and roots, no problem.

SAT Writing: Essay - essay. What is there to say. Like I said before, you got a 100% in AP LANG which TAUGHT YOU how to write an argument. Piece of cake. Grammatical rules. If you are a good essay writer, you should be able to easily correct these (Except for the few hard ones which don’t come up too often).

All in all, stop qqing. Go study if you want that 2400 instead of raging on about how the tests suck. They don’t. Plenty of people got a 2400. Anyone can, to be honest. All it requires is a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck (for an easier test)
