What are you all shooting for? I've taken the SAT twice and my ACT once, my junior year. So I still have time to take them again. But I was just curious what everyone's take on it was.
Taking it this winter.
aiming for 2300-2400
ambitious young lad i am

HAHAHA that's what I'm saying!dang you guys are crazy.. Lol I was happy with not studying and getting a 1800.. awk
HAHAHA that's what I'm saying!
I just want at least 1500 lol.
Oh snappp, no shades allowed according to U Wot M8YES normal people ftw
I do know my ACT was a grand slam (29-31).
A 29 is a grand slam? I would think 33+ lol
I'd have to disagree. A 30 (just found my scorecard) was huge at my school. Especially with the fact that it was in the Top 5% in a 4A High school. Besides, The average ACT score is 21. I'm extremely happy with a 30. 33+ would Jimmy Neutron level
I'm looking for a 1275 or higher on CR+M. The place I want to apply to doesn't really care for writing so it's good for me I guess.
I am taking it this one last time in October to see if I meet my goals, if not, hopefully it won't make my appy look like shiz.
What are you aiming for?
Nice dude! I got a 29.... I'm more like Jimmy's friend Carl lol
I'm probably the worst standardized test taker. I received a 1820 on SAT, along with a 27 on my ACT. I'm currently looking at the University at Buffalo, and that's about the 50th percentile. I have about 200 shadowing hours, and lots of extras. So I might take the ACT again, but I'm thinking of just leaving my SAT at the moment. I hold a 4.0 with good AP scores, but when it comes to the ACT and SAT, I'm weak.
Ha! I like Carl Though!
Seriously though, I'd be extremely happy with a 29. I've heard of guys getting into college with just a 28 ACT alone!

Well if you're the worst "standardized test taker", it sure doesn't show. An 1820 SAT + 27 ACT is really good. Don't sell yourself short.
With a 4.0, 200+ shadowing hours, Some AP's thrown in there, AND A 4.0 GPA???
I WISH my app. looked that good
same. my high school wasn't that serious. we were seriously happy with a 28.
You're too sweet! Thank you. I hope the admissions board thinks that too. Thanks for your input.
18> May want to retake
19-23 Average Score
23-26 Good
27-29 Great
30+ Excellent
I got a 29. I'm perfectly happy with it.
and congrats on everyone's scores! All of you will be great college applicants
Yes! just do your best and never look down.
Speaking of the SAT, is it me or I found the ACT to be much easier?
Giving the ACT is September... Hoping for a 33+ (It's ok to be optimistic)
The SAT is all your knowledge up until that point while the ACT is what you were taught.
Best of luck! :thumbsup:
lol, just keep studying. We can't tell you you'll score a 2300+, because it's gotta be in the 95+ percentile (googled it and something said its the 99+ percentile, soooo..) . But yeah I will say a 1900 as a freshman is really good.
People want to keep their options open...why are some people taking/studying for both the sat and act? Isn't that a waste of time if colleges only require one? Which ones, if any, require both?

I took a practice test or two and I'm around low 1900s (as a freshman).... MY goal is a 2300!!! Am I on track for that or above?
I've been told that the SAT is easier to study for, but I think it depends on the individual. Personally, I only studied for the SAT, and I honestly think anyone studying for both is wasting their time ahaha. However, I did take the ACT, and my scores were good enough to warrant sending them to colleges. Definitely worth taking them both!
Ok, Mr. Fan of the Yankees who are paying A-rod $25 million a year. Since you're the smartest kid on earth, I'll listen to you...
but Did I ever say I was going to study for the SAT as a freshmen? there's a difference between studying and taking 2 practice tests.
