Get rid of the SAT - General

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23658552]who the hell studies, just pay attention to your classes.[/QUOTE] SAT has nothing to do with classes. The test just consists of mind numbing questions that are solved using "tricks"

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658531]Here, the UC's want 1900 and above, and with more and more people wanting to get into UC's the scores just keep getting higher. Thus, spending more money on courses.[/QUOTE] SAT classes are only for people who do not possess the self-discipline to sit down and study. Before they added Grammar, people still ace the SATs with a 1600 without even the use of a study-aid or taking 'preparatory classes'. I improved from getting an 1100 without taking a day of SAT Class. SATs just include basics that you're supposed to learn in class, Geometry to Algebra 2 for Math, and the ability to competently seek out key parts of a passage that does not require full reading. Grammatical skills are also needed. You must not do bad in SAT grammar, you will not do well in life, if one does do no good in Grammar.

Hah. Shit. [QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23658552]who the hell studies, just pay attention to your classes.[/QUOTE] ^this

fun story, i once took the SAT while mildly intoxicated my nerves took over me and it's obvious i didn't score high

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658557]SAT has nothing to do with classes. The test just consists of mind numbing questions that are solved using "tricks"[/QUOTE] uh, no, the "tricks" are just used to help solve the problems a bit faster than you normally can so you can get as many of the problems you know done.

shut up and conform already

Wait, so is 1810 good or no?

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23658552]who the hell studies, just pay attention to your classes.[/QUOTE] Really.. you got 2300 on first try without studying. 6 on essay? I'm sorry but I just can't seem to beleive you.

[QUOTE=Sputn!k;23658592]Wait, so is 1810 good or no?[/QUOTE] that's around average? [editline]07:37AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658600]Really.. you got 2300 on first try without studying. 6 on essay? I'm sorry but I just can't seem to beleive you.[/QUOTE] i took one psat class.

[QUOTE=Sputn!k;23658592]Wait, so is 1810 good or no?[/QUOTE] 1600 is "okay" over here.

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658600]Really.. you got 2300 on first try without studying. 6 on essay? I'm sorry but I just can't seem to beleive you.[/QUOTE] Just because you get a 800 on your SAT doesn't justify you into telling the rest of the world that the SAT is a shitty test. You just suck in test-taking.

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658618]1600 is "okay" over here.[/QUOTE] lmao 1600 is the top score you can manage prior to doing the essay.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23658604]that's around average? [editline]07:37AM[/editline] i took one psat class.[/QUOTE] And who the hell studies? Unless you meant pay attention in the Psat class. [editline]07:39AM[/editline] [QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23658627]lmao 1600 is the top score you can manage prior to doing the essay.[/QUOTE] Scores have been raised since you probably took it.

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658634]And who the hell studies? Unless you meant pay attention in the Psat class. [editline]07:39AM[/editline] Scores have been raised since you probably took it.[/QUOTE] uhh do you even know what the psat is? lmao it's literally the real sat just an earlier version of it from past years. [editline]07:41AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658634]And who the hell studies? Unless you meant pay attention in the Psat class. [editline]07:39AM[/editline] Scores have been raised since you probably took it.[/QUOTE] um no it hasn't, 1600 is top without doing essay, 2400 is top with doing the essay

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23658650]uhh do you even know what the psat is? it's not studying, it's taking the actual sat, just an earlier and a "slightly improved" version of it.[/QUOTE] From what I know PSat is practice SAT. The courses I've been in make you take one every week.

You know, instead of spreading an internet petition around the internet that is focused on banning the SATs why don't you just get off Facepunch and actually crack open a Study-Aid book that the Collegeboard is kind enough to bless you with?

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;23658625]Just because you get a 800 on your SAT doesn't justify you into telling the rest of the world that the SAT is a shitty test. You just suck in test-taking.[/QUOTE] I got 1700, I posted it before.

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658663]From what I know PSat is practice SAT. The courses I've been in make you take one every week.[/QUOTE] are you sure you're not thinking of the national merit scholarship qualifying test?

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658687]I have class for SAT.[/QUOTE] lmao are you sure it's not sat prep classes rather than psat.

Then read the study-aid then. It only costs 14 dollars off Amazon. Don't just half-can the PSATs they hand out to you, actually lean forward and actually put full focus on it. The more tests you take the more familiar you are with it's layouts and the 'tricks' they place before you. AP testing is pretty much the same instead they just focused on one subject. So seriously, if you really are in a debacle with the SAT then just stop this thread right now and actually start studying your vocab words.

[QUOTE=Errorproxy;23658711]PSAT is practice. [url]http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/about.html[/url][/QUOTE] okay and? i already stated that before.

AW, crap. I missed my one thousandth post, I got too sucked in to the conversation. Thanks for the opportunity for me to post guys. Good night. Thanks Caboose, for the encouragement. I think.

thx for putting up a useless petition in a bad thread

Holy shit that was long. Who cares just take the stupid test it's not like it's gonna go away no matter what people try to do.

740 on reading 650 on math 600 on writing fuck writing.

I don't remember what I got. Don't worry about it OP, you'll do better if you're not stressed out. I didn't.
