Yeah, a 28 is great. It's the 91st percentile. (ACT National Percentiles)

College Confidential just attracts a ton of Ivy-obsessed kids who put waaaay too much stock in standardized tests.





How well did you do? I remember hearing you say that you got into Brown.




The first time I got a 29. I took it again and got a 33. I ended up sending in my SAT though because it was higher at 2320.

Damn, 4 point bump! That's pretty crazy. I took it a couple more times to try and get a 36 but I ended up getting a 33 and a 30, LOL.

Three or four years ago they added a Writing section to the test. It includes a written essay and a few sections that test grammar. The new section is also out of 800 points, so composite scores are now out of 2400.

Holy crap.

I remember taking the PSAT as a sophomore and it was just Math and Verbal (99th percentile and 94th percentile) and then as a junior they added a critical reading section to it and although I bumped up to 99th percentile in the other two I got hosed on that new one with my 80th percentile. I should have been happy with 96th percentile overall, but I had always been 99th overall until that point on standardized tests...lol

Never took the SAT or ACT, but outscored my teacher on the math portion of the practice ACT :)

That's pretty cool, there are a lot of smart people on this site. Gamers seem to have a higher average intelligence than the average person. Am I the only one who has noticed that?

My sister made a 30 on the ACT, but she made what was about equivalent to a 25-26 on the SAT. I've always heard the SAT is more like an IQ test, is that true? What are the primary differences, in your opinion?

this may be true, but i personally know people with absolutely no social skills who don't play games. as a matter of fact, they don't have any hobbies WHATSOEVER. specifically, a dude i work with every day. he walks up to me and just stares at me, waiting for me to start conversing. it's very awkward.... lol. we've hung out before, but all he does is work and watch TV. he's no stupid by any means, but he certainly lacks social skills.
