<p>Oh and thanks for the suggestion! I’m gonna go look it up!!!</p>
<p>That’s awesome! I’ll be taking Math and Physics as well (and Literature too…)
I’m much better at Math than I am at Physics (my teacher is just incompetent)
My most recent score (March SAT) was:
CR 700
M 720
W 620
My superscore is a tad bit higher since I’ve taken it more than once already.
I also took SAT Chem last year and managed a 720…pretty average because my percentile was 67?
I don’t know what to expect come May…I procrastinate too much.
How is your SAT score? What is your goal?</p>
<p>My former math teacher takes it every year. </p>
<p>Always gets a 2400.</p>
<p>The youngest you can take it at is 7th grade. I did it.</p>
<p>Wow ! Your math teacher should write an SAT prep book.</p>
<p>He’s a tutor.</p>
<p>Pretty impressive…so does his score count on those reports that say how many people got a 2400 on the SAT in a particular year?</p>
<p>My Physics teacher is awesome haha she’s like so clueless and Physics is her life! Maybe that’s one reason I like it a lot. The only way I’d be able to do an English SAT II is if I fix my reading! And yeah, I could definitely see the subject tests being more competitive, but still that’s a great score. You’re gonna have like a ton of them to send in!!! So your March one was…2040? Mine was a 2030 (760 M 690 W 580 CR) - only time taken. My goal is 2200!</p>
<p>You’ll definitely achieve your goal! Just study and practice over the summer!
Do you have any tips for writing? </p>
<p>I wish my physics teacher was cool…he’s really not and apparently our ap class has finished the curriculum and we really don’t know anything…oh well. haha.</p>
<p>Hahaha! You’re in AP? Do you think I’ll be able to take the test after just Honors? And umm, well the part of writing I’m good at is grammar, so know that I guess but I’m definitely no expert on SAT writing! The vocab questions are definitely what screwed up my score, so I guess you and I both need to study the dictionary? :)</p>
<p>I haven’t taken it yet with my son (he takes it next year) – but Ive taken it twice in 2011 (Jan. and March) – first time since 1982 - because I got obsessed with it and think it’s fun (call me crazy). </p>
<p>I’m home on this Sat. night trying to figure out the TI-89 Calculator. They’re allowed, right? Is the SAT software a special download for it?</p>
<p>How funny…that’s me (i.e. the mom who’s taking the SATs). For some strange reason, I find it fun. Very weird, I know…though I do know other middle aged moms who agree with me.</p>
<p>What was your score?</p>
<p>@asinine16: No… charts such as <a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools; include only the scores of “college-bound seniors” in the totals.</p>
<p>In October, I took the SAT in the same room as my brother (he’s a senior in high school). I can’t imagine how nerve-wracking it was for him. He ended up doing pretty well, though (aside from forgetting to complete one of the reading comp passages… whoops).</p>
<p>The Ti-89 calculators are allowed.
I was not aware that there was SAT software, though…</p>
<p>Have to admit that they’re very useful even without.</p>
<p>The 89s are not allowed on the test… Or any version after it</p>
<p>^No, the TI-89 is OK, though (IMO) unnecessary for the SAT. See [this</a> link for the official calculator rules](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/sat-reasoning/test-day/expect/calculators]this”>SAT Calculator Policy – SAT Suite | College Board). The TI-89 doesn’t fall under any of the disallowed categories. I think the TI Nspire would be allowed as well, although I suppose you could argue it is getting close to a “hand-held minicomputer”.</p>
<p>Oh. I think collegeboard has an actual list of calculators that are not allowed. </p>
<p>The 89 and Nspire aren’t allowed on the ACT, so I thought it’d be the same for both.</p>
<p>This is an interesting thread. If I take the SAT (I’m a mom 
) my math would be close to (if not exactly) 800 and my CR would most likely be lower than that of my 12 year old daughter.
I think your mom is great! no matter what her score is.</p>
<p>Lol my mom was reading this thread and she felt so relieved that other moms take the test as well. I hope she does not feel too embarrassed when she walks into a room full of high school students exchanging confused looks. Haha, I hope she passes !</p>
