SAT scores availible this morning... and I got 760 Math, 690 Reading Comprehension, 760 Writing (80 out of 80 on the grammar and 8 out of 12 on the essay... but I'm telling myself that I would have done better there if they had actually read it).

On a related note, my AP English Lit teacher this year decided to try grading the SAT writing tests. He quit after the first round of grading because he couldn't stand the terrible writing and the whole computer system thing was annoying and difficult to use, apparently. haha.

But then, I suppose SAT essay graders like that because they can tell there's a thesis without even having to read the whole first sentence. I'm told they get about 1 minute to score and grade each paper, so I should have just wrote about something totally unrelated and just made my first and last sentences of each paragraph sound reasonable.
At least I know grammar, even if half my answers in the last hour of that test were just justified in my mind by "because I feel like it."

Oh yeah, they changed it, didn't they? I got 1190 on mine when I took it with just Maths/Verbal.
Congrats though. You did really well!

I guess with just the math and reading comprehension I have a 1450... so yay! And thank you!

And I didn't get an email from him so he must not have gotten very far on the list.

My mom woke me up this morning by waving my scores (scribbled on a post-it note) in my face. I got a 800 in math, 720 in Critical Reading, and 760 (!!!) in Writing (12 on the essay, but I suck in grammar, ha). And so, 2280. My parents generally don't want me to retake it because they're scared I'll get a lower score, but I sort of want to because... well, I didn't study at all for this one, so if I do study then that'd give me a better score? :/

My mom seems to think that I should have done better on the Critical Reading, so I think she wants me to take it, again. Blah.
I thought colleges didn't get all your scores - just the ones you ask to be sent. I mean, you have to pay to get extra scores sent.
Anyway, thank you - but you did even better, so congratulations to you! I guess we're going to college, eh?

Those essays will at least not expect 1000 words, and some will be able to be recycled, right?
