I honestly don't think i'll get into a college. I got a 1330 out of 2400 which can not in anyway be good. I don't think i'm good enough for college. I don't know what I'm going to do with my life.
I sucked at my SATs too. The college I'm at now has a system for those that didn't take or did poorly on the SATs, basically as long as your grades remain over a certain threshold for your first semester you're admitted to the second one without this limit.
I got lower score than you and got into a college. Do the ACTs instead, I find it to be much easier than that dreadful SATs. And you do realize everyone pretty much fails their first time, you can still take the test 2 more times.

It largely depends on where you want to go to college though. The ACT might not be an option for him as many east and west coast schools dont consider the ACT when going over applications (Same deal with midwestern schools focusing mainly on the ACT as opposed to SAT).
Ah well. Better luck next time. My parents are shouting at me for not revising for my GCSEs, despite the fact that I still have about two months left until they are held, three weeks of which I'm on holiday (not including weekends).
[QUOTE="dgbiker1"]I scored 200 points higher when I didn't study :lol: And that's when the test was out of 1600.CrimzonTide
I studied a lot, and got the same score as when I didn't study. It made me realize how worthless that SAT prep class was. Not sure about exact point values, but I know for a fact that skimming through the official SAT prep book helped me. There were several questions on the math portion on topics that I had not covered since my freshman year, and the book refreshed my memory and helped me to answer those.

You know you can go to collegeboard.com and they have college listings and what their average accepted student SAT scores are btw?
My school said i did not have to take the SAT and i had to pay for it soooo i didn't take it. But i did have to take the ACT and i am hoping for a 20. Yes i know it is not good but that science part was just really hard (i think i guessed on 90% of the questions because of the time limit).

Yes the book helped, but the class was a complete waste of my time. We accomplished nothing and everything we attempted to cover was already made obvious in my math and english classes.
I'm sorry to hear that you were unable to obtain the score that you desired, but you certainly didn't fail the test. I'd suggest retaking it thereby attempting to increase your score a bit.
Also, don't let your performance on standardized tests get you down. One exam cannot thoroughly measure your abilities, and there will always be a college around that will accept you
If it's an option, I recommend taking the ACT over the SAT. I found the SAT to be more difficult, but strangely, I actually scored higher on the SAT in comparison...
