I'd say that if this was for the SAT I Essay prompt (and it addressed a question based on this) this would get like a 5 or 6. Reason: The topic, firstly, is too cliche (the reader always wants something unusual to make life better). Secondly, there's not a strong thesis statement in this passage. Thirdly, there's a lot of grammatical/spelling mistakes. This passage does not address the ...

Well, I guess it depends on what colleges you're looking at. From browsing on the Ivy League forums, I discovered that virtually all the international "chance" topic creators have ~2200 or higher SATs, so the competition is pretty ridiculous. If you're looking to other colleges however, I'm not sure.

to be honest i thought you could only miss 4 max. i THINK i missed 2 or 3 on my test (2 yrs ago) and i got an 800

You have two issues, receipt and matching. Likely college has already received the scores but it can take quite a while thereafter to then match that score to your file particularly if it is a college that is still one that receives scores by mail (they likely received hundreds or thousands of scores within the last two weeks and clerical personnel have to take all those and input them into the ...

December is the last date you can take SAT IIs for UCs. You must have two SAT IIs for the UCs. Registration for Dec test has passed but you can attempt to go stand-by -- have a prepared registration form, have check to cover the costs and show up early at the testing center and attempt to get in.

They suck. Ugh i hate kaplan

I heard Rocket Review is good

Generally, I would avoid sending scores below 700 to highly selective universities. That said, Lit is a very difficult SAT II, and getting anything above a 600 is very respectable. Your choice, imho.

It's curved depending on how hard the test is.

Bumpppppppppppppppppppppppppp!

I thought it was way easier than the October test.

Well I worked really hard to improve my score from a 31 to a 34 on the ACT. I took the ACT before I took the SAT, and I liked it more. If I was to put the tests in your categories i would say that the ACT is for hard workers while the SAT is for smarter people. The SAT is made to trick you, while the ACT's main focus is to test you on the subject matter (writing, math, reading, science). ...

UUUGH! I hate hearing stories like this. Should I feel sorry for you 'cuz you cheated and then the answers you wrote were probably in the wrong row? How dare you cheat! And then admit it?!! Now I suppose many kids cheat, but geez, you probably won't get caught. So relax. But DON"T ever, EVER cheat again!

For me it was more like, 2350+ you get a PS3. 2300+ you're okay, and lower than 2300 you're out in the streets. T___T''

It's curved depending on how hard the test is.

Writing is not added into the composite on the ACT and the research on whether or not the writing section actually predicts college success is still being done.

Don't cancel. As long as you tested outside of Ohio where it seems there were different forms, you will be fine. But more practically, I believe that you need to cancel ACT scores BEFORE you walk out of the testing center. You're bigger problem here is if they notice you copied her answers (you guys will have similar wrong answers). Then, you (and her) will be screwed. They will pretty much ...

SAT: 800... 10 essay ACT: 36... 10 essay Yeah, I'm consistent.

Why not just go into a good instate college that costs less too.
