Cobb Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 for the first time. Not sure what to expect difficulty wise. Any tips on taking it or what not? Also, if you've taken it before how'd you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you've taken it before how'd you do? I took it once, didn't study got like a 1300 on it. I heard that's pretty good, I just relaxed and took my time on the questions.

The Regime Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Good luck. I never thought it was hard, I just wasnt very serious when I took it. Got a 1500 though, not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChosenOne Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Just remember the hardest questions are the last 3-4 in every section if you do not know them skip them, that also goes for every other question. If you asnwer wrong you lose more points than skipping it so guessing is not really a good thing. I took it once really did not care what I got I just had to take it because I had to have it on record to go to UNR. Got around 1500, the test for the most part was simple.

fish7718 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Lol either we have the smartest group of kids in the world here or they are talking about getting 1500 on all 3 parts. My advice would be to get a good nights sleep. When you wake up tomorrow have a very good breakfast and go in relax and take it like you would any other test.

The most you can get on each part is 800....so when someone says 1500 it would abviously mean all together lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like modest bigdog who says he got a 1300 which on math and reading is very high and would get you into a lot of colleges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJNJ Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 My score was horrible. I remember walking in a bit confident, yet a bit clueless, considering I hardly studied. I don't know why I seriously thought I was going to do well. Well I expected to do very well within language arts, since math is definitely not my forté. I ended up doing ehhhh on all the sections. My score was in the low 1400-range, out of 2400, by the way. Man imagine it was 1600 still I would've been so happy to see a 1400something out of that on my score report. Would feel soooo smartttt like never before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reno Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 you NEED to PRACTICE if you want a good score, just buy one of the sat test booklets and practice it.A friend of mine who's an idiot, practiced out of the book and got a 2200 on his first try.

The Next Knick Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Wow you guys must not really get too into school/studying, you guys don't sound too serious about it. I'm looking to get at least an 1800, but am taking lots of courses. I can't imagine going in knowing nothing, what are you guys majoring in?

It has nothing to do with your major, it's a standardized test colleges just want. Once your in a school the SAT has no more relevance.
