How old are you? About a year and 2 months ago, I was 13, and I took it for some gifted/talented program and scored a 22 overall, 28 in math, and 26 in science. I think I got around 15 in English, so that's what brought my score way down.

Well it's out of 1600 I believe, so doing the math its about equivalent to a 27 after rounding up.

Wow that sounds really complicated

The English system is rubbish but the American one sounds solid if I could understand the meaning, I am 15 and in my SAT I got:

English 6
Science 6
Maths 6

So as you can see the are very different, well done guys, the American system obviously works better than the British one, Thats why English people are thick

So congrats.

im only a sophomore. so, figure out my age.

[chrisab508]

I hear of so many sophomores taking the ACT/SAT's (you being one of them) why? I'm a sophomore and my school doesn't have us take them first time till fall of junior year? I woulda taken em at my old school, but i moved

[Coda]

can any of you compare the act with the sat? I got a 1350 and am wondering if I should even bother with the act.

[corncob3466]

i dont know much about the SAT, but from what ive learnred from this thread that sounds like a really good score. i wouldnt bother with the ACT if i were you.

[Steve Huff]

Some colleges require it. So, unless you know where you're going, and know they don't require it, I'd take it.

1350 is ok, depending on where you want to go. If you want to go Ivy, or top tier, it might not get you in. If you want to goto a state school, you may be eligible for a scholarship with it. As for score equivalents, a 26 is about an 1180, a 32 about a 1420-1450.

Take the ACT. you might do better on in than the SAT because they test differently, and a majority of colleges will take the higher of the 2 scores.

I took each once and got a 31 or 32 on the ACT, and it got me into a few ivy's and NYU. 26 is not bad at all though(national average is usually between 19-21)

[edge]

Is it a regional thing? Up in the northeast, it's only the SAT's.

[corncob3466]

down south nobobdy takes the SAT
