What's your "REAL" SAT Score?

2020 on this, 2220 on the real sat.

I think a lot of people overcorrect with this formula by saying that their ecs are outstanding or their essays are outstanding… I was fiarly honest with myself. I assume the places I’m applying will have a lot of good writers, and so my essays will be “average”. I never won a national science competition and haven’t eliminated poverty in a small country, so my ecs are certainly not “outstanding”. If I were to overcorrect, my score jumps to 2190, but that’s still lower than my real score.

I just have a feeling some of you guys are being dishonest with yourselves.
