well it wasnt to bad cheated on most of it...... well english part was sort of easy.... math was almost all guessing you know the "well A looks good but then again D has a negative sign, and C hasnt been used in a while so ill take C" thats how i did it anyways when i wasnt cheating....

if u get above a 201 u get NMSQ to send recomendation thingies to 2 colleges of ur choice.  if u get like above 215 u get a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist, finalist is higher (duh). and if u get the scholarship (bout $2500 per year) ur score has to be MAD high.
im not bashing u.  im saying that unless ur really smart, it doenst matter for shit.  I want to stress the fact that im not hating or trying to contradict u, im mostly agreeing with u

I didn't think it was very hard. I hate tests like this though, i took the PLAN, IOWA, and PSAT's this year, and then later CATS testing... Do all schools do a ridiculous amount of testing?

word, i should have worded that differently.
im not too concerned wit the whole scholarship thing. i have nuff money (from myself, not rich parents) to make it through CU, and getting above a 201 would require a huge amount of effort

It's not exactly 201 and 215. It's a certain number of students getting each thing. The top 50,000 are qualified, which sends the recommendations to colleges. 35,000 get commended, which really doesn't mean much. 16,000 get semifinalist, which qualifies you for finalist. The top 15,000 get finalist, which qualifies you for a shitload of scholarships. You basically have to fail the SAT not to get finalist if you get semifinalist.

I got a 219 last year, and I'm a semifinalist. I know one of the other semifinalists at my school got a 215, but I don't think they've announced what the cutoff scores are yet.

You guys all need to relax. As an SAT tutor, I can tell you that they arent very indicative of what you'll get on the SAT, and furthermore, they only count if you want to try for the National Merit Scholarships, which very few of you will actually see any money out of anyways. There are many other scholarships out there that are easier to get and give you more money for college.

Dont sweat it. Its a stupid test that measures how well you can fill in bubbles. Good for your friend who did better, he can fill in bubbles better. Its not a predictor or what you've learned, what kind of person you are, and how sucessful you will be.
