Finals, Graduations, SATs and other poppycock.

No I've never gotten a B before in my life - always been straight A's

5.16? Even with weighted classes, what the fuck is that? Our weighted scale was out of 5.0 but not even all your classes were weighted. Chances are most people wound up with a 4.5 or 4.7 at max.

My GPA is outta 8.0, so a 5.16 is completely plausible on my scale, though horrible.

Interesting--most grading scales that I've seen have been 4.0 (unweighted) or 5.0 (weighted). I'll take your word for it.

I was 3.9/4.0 with a 1380/1600 in High School, got into Virginia Tech College of Engineering pretty ez because I'm in-state.

I graduated from college (BS) this past March and now I work for a web company. Looking back I had it pretty easy; I never took the SAT and got passing but nothing special on the few AP tests I took. My grades in high school were terrible because I didn't do any of the busy work. I thought it was pretty unbalanced that I could get at least 90%+ on all tests including and the final and still come out with a C or B because I didn't push paper the rest of the time.

While getting into a good college don't hurt your chances for success, I don't believe that it is a make or break point in one's life. Congratulations to everyone who graduated, but just remember that the only thing burning yourself out studying guarantees is a sleeping disorder :]

When did the 2400 thing come into use? I got a 1420 out of 1600 back when the SATs didn't have the writing section.

(p.s. helllllooooo from east asia!)

ahhh yes, I forgot they added writing, it all makes more sense now.. I remember the hoopla when they announced that.. Because there's no specific answer like in math and such.. and like one teacher has to read it, and then another has to read it and they have to aggree on the grade or it goes to a third teacher... or something like that. God, I hate standardized tests.


Anyways, one thing I know high school didn't really prepare me for (I suppose different schools may differ) is writing long papers. I know in high school (though I never was in honors english) I never had had to write papers like in college, in length, in content, and in frequency.

This is the 1st full year for new SAT scores.

BTW.....nobody here has taken the ACT's??? I am suprised. Much better test and widely accepted in more schools than the SAT. I did much better on my ACT's yrs ago than the SAT's. I just do not understand why a test for college is based solely upon Math and Reading/Grammer can be such an accurate guide, when ACT's cover the same but add in Science & History. SAT's would be great if colleges required you taking only English and Math, but core curriculum classes for almost all 1st and 2nd year students require history and science as well.
