Who here has taken the SAT recently and what'd you get and did you do anything specific to boost your grade when you take it the second time if you took it the second time...i don't feel like wasting my parents money OFFICIAL COLLEGEBOARD studyguides that cost like 50 dollars...
haha thats funny i had to register myself the other day i just bought some 20 dollar one but its still like 23948023948320 pages. i put it next to the toilet so it'll get read a little bit. but i haven't taken it yet and i'm already a senior. i think i take it this october 9th. and i'll probably need to take it again. sats are gonna suck
Well I never took the SAT but I took the ACT. I can't tell you what to do, but for me personally - I started to do those study tactics and quit real quick. They were time consuming and I didn't think they would help me personally. Anyways I took the test once and did well. I took it again and did even better. Bottom line, buy the book if you honestly think you'll spend some time with it. Also, I would count on taking it more than once, even if you do well. Just knowing what to expect the second time should help you do better. Well that's enough rambling. Hope it helps.
well i got a 1980 on the sat and a 28 on the act the first time and im gonna retake the sat bc i wanna get a free ride to a school....if i get a free ride, my dad said hell buy me any like sub 30k dollar car, so i now have incentive to bust my azz studying for those tests bc youre right, studying for those things is the most time consuming thing in the world and you feel like you're getting nothing out of it
Wow. I want that offer! I managed a 30 on the ACT but never took the SAT. I would definitely get the book and study it hard. Any amount of time is worth 30K and a free education. What score do you need for a free ride?
idk, depends on the school...you'd probably do real well on the sat....ummm my brother got a free ride with like a 1370 (out of 1600) which would be about a 2050-2100
ahah thanks man, yea i take it october 6th just registered like 10 minutes ago.....in all seriousness though, i could be so much more productive if the test went from like 11-4 instead of 7-12
i took the SATs ppl put to much emphisis on it, its really not a hard test. Just long, i didnt study for it or anything and got a 1020 on it( not a great score but enough for a 75% scholar ship)
just get good sleep the night b4 or youll fall asleep while your taking it
I got a 1200 something a few years back when I took it. lol- they had to wake me up in class to bring me a little certificate saying I was in the '1200+ club'.
from my understanding its a bit different now. I did enough to get some $ towards tuition though. Funny thing is I only graduated because I was able to do programming and web design and fake a semesters worth of work in 15 minutes ;) . I got straight A's in computer classes, but flat out told my teachers in the others I refuse to do busy work. I got A's and B's on most my tests, but 0's for homework and repetetive class work, sooooo... I never understood why they have to see a handwritten pos when you can ace the tests.
I stayed out till about 3-4 with this reeeeeaaaaallllly hot red-head I was dating at the time and took the test at 7:30 the next morning, so I will recommend DON'T DO THAT lol... Just study, eat right, and sleep good the night before.
