My oldest took portions of the SAT a few weeks ago.

We just got the results.

A combined score of 1250. On the math and verbal reasoning sections.

My oldest just turned 13 in October.

Johns Hopkins Talent Search?

Ok, he did better than me, and I was, like, 16 or 17. [Frown]

That's awesome, though.

Did you know about this?

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

I could've done SO much better on the new test. [Mad]

Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :

Me too, mack.

I have to say something, though. I know how these are scored, and the new writing portion is probably going to send some scorers over the edge.

I always did even better on in-class timed essays and tests with essay questions than on essays I had time to prepare for. [Dont Know]

Yet another reason I think the system isn't fair; my husband had to fight his way out of remedial math and english classes in college because he doesn't do well on tests, while I am exempt from the placement test which so failed him because my SAT scores were so high (with no practice or pre-test.)

Congrats to your kid!

Was it for the Duke TIP program qualification? My kids did that.

I did that. Scored (I think) about a 900 if I remember right. Don't be surprised if your oldest starts getting college offers [Razz]

I took the PSATs this year. My score would have translated to a 1970 out of 2400 on the new SATs.

13 years old, eh? That's pretty darn good!!

I wish I had got the new version with the writing section. I didn't miss a question on the verbal, yet my maths section was less-than-stellar. Standardized tests; bleh.
