couple fucking points short...
going to have to retake it to be competitive (<-term my sister used)

I had to study my ass off for the SAT, and I still only got a 1720.

I'm guessing this is the 2400 scale
I didn't study at all and got 1400
Lets hope studying makes me do better.
Or irony might bite me in the ass.

[project dragon]

all of you chinese fail

[DoTheFandango]

Since we are bragging, I studied a little bit and got a 2020.

Suck it.

[stark]

I got a 990 (there was no crazy writing section when I took it)... But, I still got into every college I applied to.



The moral of this story is.. SAT's aren't everything


Edit: And they weren't community colleges, in case you were wondering... Or even state schools

Suck it.

And I still got into the school of my choice.

How about you Sam?

Since I'm a junior, I don't know yet. But chances are Clark University or UConn will be willing to accept me.

C is considered average? Holy crap those are low standards.

I got into all the schools I applied to.

Including a few private schools, and one Ivy League quality school.

SAT's are seriously overrated.

[PrOnEsSim]

I just finished sophmore year... still got an year to worry about my sat scores.. lol

That's what the scale was designed around, yes. In my university anyway:

A: 94+
A-: 90-93
B+: 87-89
B: 84-86
B-: 80-83
C+: 77-79
C: 74-76
C-: 70-73
D+: 67-69
D: 64-66
D-: 60-63
F: < 60

Grading systems are subjective and differ from region to region. What's a C in one place could be a B somewhere else or a D in a third place. This is especially true when what's being graded isn't a clear-cut yes or no, true or false, you either got it or you didn't kind of assessment.

It's like when you compare GPAs between someone who uses a 4.0 point scale and someone who uses a 9.0 scale.

I'm not saying you can't compare two people from two different grading systems. You just can't get a good reading based on letter grades.

Back on topic, how do you get 12%?

Ahh that is a lot different than most Canadian systems:

A+: 90+
A: 85-89
A-: 80-84
B+: 77-79
B: 74-76
B-: 70-73
C+: 67-69
C: 64-66
C-: 60-63
D+: 57-59
D: 54-56
D-: 50-53
F: < 50

My university was on a 12 point system. A+ = 12, A = 11, ... , D = 2, D- = 1. Graduating with distinction required a 10.0 (80%) or higher. I believe 3 people in my program graduated with distinction. You needed a 7.0 (70%) or higher to proceed each year. 43 graduates from a starting class of 396. I graduated with an 8.78, not bad considering I had six 5's and one 2.

In grade 13 Business Admin, my friend Andrew (who introduced me to SS coincidently) and I decided to try and acheive 1 out of 20 on the weekly multiple choice quiz. We figured 1 out of 20 was harder to get than 0 out of 20. Somehow I got 2 correct, while my friend did manage to get just the 1. Shortly after the quizes were marked and returned the PA came on and the principal announced the candidates for valedictorian: myself, Andrew and some other guy. We spent the remainder of the class trying to convince our teacher we failed the quiz on purpose.
