Snake. 12.12.16	i remember being kinda disappointed with the practice scores but then i actually took the SATs and got a 1750 superscore glad to see you did well tho
Conmaniac 12.12.16	i remember i got a 1900 on SAT but i never sent that to any of the colleges i applied to cuz my act score was better. apparently it's all standardized somehow now? either way congrats but try not to stress over it too much is my advice. i despise standardized testing even if i benefited from it a bit
elliootsmeuth 12.12.16	They have it out of 1600 now. Changed it this year. Not too stressed at all. Surprisingly, my math score was the weaker end, not the reading. Always been more math minded than reading minded. The math was just a bitch on it.
Conmaniac 12.12.16	where ya looking to apply to if u dont mind me asking?
elliootsmeuth 12.12.16	Probably going to go to community college for the first two years, get pre-recs out of the way. I'd like to go to University of Illinois. Financially not really practical and the first three semesters of high school were shit for me. My grandparents went there, my dad did, and my aunt did. Kinda family tradition.
bloc 12.12.16	I got a score of 99 million
Conmaniac 12.12.16	ahh cool I applied there actually. cool place
onionbubs 12.12.16	My score was pretty average but it doesnt really matter sophomore year Glad to see ya did well
guitarded_chuck 12.12.16	you need to take an sat to go to community college
elliootsmeuth 12.12.16	1580 on that SAT bitches Jfc, is that on the new system?
zaruyache 12.12.16	either it's the new system or the score I got was bizarrely low :3
GeorgeWBush 12.12.16	My cortisol levels were elevated, so I had to decrease my boatwhistle and didn't try very hard. I haven't Czeched my score.
GeorgeWBush 12.12.16	The PSAT is worthless for anything other than memes.
elliootsmeuth 12.12.16	Other than the fact that it's the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship, which is only one of the biggest scholarships in the nation. But yeah. Worthless memes.
Conmaniac 12.12.16	yeah my friend got a full ride to Alabama after he aced the PSATs aha
bentheREDfan 12.12.16	I got a 30
bentheREDfan 12.12.16	Wait dang it that was for the ACT
elliootsmeuth 12.12.16	Regardless, nice job; a 30 is pretty fantastic.
onionbubs 12.12.16	If you got a 30 on the PSAT, i would have an extreme amount of respect for you
50iL 12.12.16	Ayyee happy you did well man! It's still a few years till I take mine.
DrMaximus 12.12.16	lol murica
Sevengill 12.12.16	I aced the PSAT and winged the actual SAT. Good scores and bad grades basically just made me look like a slacker to colleges.
elliootsmeuth 12.12.16	Solid.
elliootsmeuth 12.12.16	b r u h
Sevengill 12.12.16	they don't do writing anymore? shit that was my best score. not that it matters, I guess.
Artuma 12.12.16	"The test is mostly multiple-choice" - Wikipedia of course, just to make sure it doesn't actually test your abilities
AlexKzillion 12.12.16	Finally found my username and password. The site says I never took the test though lol
Joeman82 12.12.16	Scored a phat 1190, so I'm on pace for a 31/38 on the SAT. Pretty good considering I wasn't trying too hard either.
theBoneyKing 12.12.16	Damn that's really impressive @Toad
Conmaniac 12.12.16	says the guy going to Harvard (;
theBoneyKing 12.12.16	Well that's a higher score than I got IIRC Toad goes to Notre Dame which is an amazing school too
Conmaniac 12.12.16	oh damn didnt know that I almost went to ND
Joeman82 12.12.16	I'm aiming to go to a good sized, in state school like Western Michigan. I could get some good scholarship too since my family is less than well off financially, I'd be the first to go to college in my immediate family, and there is one more reason maybe a little too personal to say.
theBoneyKing 12.12.16	Sounds like you're on a good path there Joeman!
Joeman82 12.12.16	I hope so man, life is so unstable you never know what could happen next.
robertsona 12.13.16	I got a 234--good enough for an invite to this summer program thing that ended up really changing the game for me. Also nabbed that National Merit Scholarship/Finalist thing. I remember "And Their Refinement of the Decline" soundtracking my studies for those times, although I don't think I did anything for the PSAT. Ended up getting a 2300 on the SAT, which I certainly studied for.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.13.16	I remember my actual SAT math and reading scores were both mid 700s but Toad is on some next level shit right there. Then again I did nothing to study because I'm not a planner.
AlexKzillion 12.13.16	I got a 1080/1600 which is okay I guess. I didn't take it very seriously tho just like with most of the tests(practice or real) that don't effect my gpa. Probably should stop doing that.
SteveOffProbation 12.13.16	yea bragging about scores on standardized tests that measure square thinking academics wooooOOoOooooOOooOOo
alienobserver 12.13.16	"I got a 35 on the act" damn nice i got a 27 lol
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.13.16	"yea bragging about scores on standardized tests that measure square thinking academics wooooOOoOooooOOooOOo" Okay go score a 1580 / 1600 if it's no accomplishment.
SteveOffProbation 12.13.16	why would i want to score 1580 on something that measures bullshit square thinking, cookie cutter academics lmao
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.13.16	To prove you're able to. Saying "that ain't shit" but being unable to demonstrate an ability to do it carries less weight than acing it and THEN saying "that ain't shit."
robertsona 12.13.16	SteveOffProbation is such an excellent username
BlazinBlitzer 12.13.16	I got the second highest in the class with a 1230 on the new PSAT. Of course, the highest had to be the crazy religious dude in my class with a 1240.
elliootsmeuth 12.14.16	Just realized I never said what I got. I got a 1360. 710 in reading and writing and 650 in math.
Artuma 12.14.16	"why would i want to score 1580 on something that measures bullshit square thinking, cookie cutter academics lmao" it doesn't measure bullshit square thinking, well, multiple choice measures nothing, but math and reading&writing skills are quite reflective of your general intelligence honestly
elliootsmeuth 12.14.16	Also, it's not all multiple choice. There are math sections that aren't multiple choice.
Artuma 12.14.16	why would you have any multiple choice math sections in the first place though? same with writing, are you supposed to be able to show you can write if all you do is answer abcd?
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.14.16	I don't get the hate for MC math. You either know the correct answers or you don't. Making mistakes along the way means you fucked up, so no partial credit should be awarded cause you got it wrong.
onionbubs 12.14.16	Got a 1050
Artuma 12.14.16	"I don't get the hate for MC math. You either know the correct answers or you don't. Making mistakes along the way means you fucked up, so no partial credit should be awarded cause you got it wrong." in mc's you can still get a correct answer even if you have no fucking clue of what should be done. it's not all about the correct answer, it's about if you actually understood the concept, which can't be seen from mc's
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.14.16	"in mc's you can still get a correct answer even if you have no fucking clue of what should be done. it's not all about the correct answer, it's about if you actually understood the concept, which can't be seen from mc's" That's why they downmark guessing. So you get statistically 0 advantage.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.14.16	"guaranteed non-answers" This comes from subject knowledge.
