I took the SATs today and I think i got a perfect score in Math.

But some advice dont drink 3 red bulls during a break if u feel tired. Halfway through the next section I was twitching and I broke 4 pencils in like 5 minutes.

Does anyone care to give an approximative grade equivalent for A, B or Cs (etc) or out of 100? I never quite understood the concept of a grade in the thousands.

i.e 2010 = B+ or 86%

the sat is out of 2400, so a 2000 is like a 83% a 2200 is a 91%
i mean its pretty standard mathematics, you can figure it out

but its a little different than a normal test in that you lose points if you answer a question wrong, so if you dont answer any questions you get like a 400 or something, so its kinda tricky, i guess the percent thing doest really apply too well

Alright thanks, I just didn't know that it was out of 2400. That's pretty much all that needed to be said.

That's only an 130 point difference, meaning that the black kid didn't do too bad. Also, colleges don't only look at SATs scores. In fact, at many schools, SATs are a minor part of admissions. So, the black kid could be amazing in academics or do lots of extracurriculars.

Standardized tests are the only way schools have to compare people from all over. They're pretty important.

except that sports teams, community service, outside interests etc are the same everywhere, as well as test scores. teh on ly part thats not is academics, and colleges know how easily or hard certain schools grade if theyve accepted someone from that school before.
