Man, my renormed verbal would have been an 800. (It was 780.)

I am Plei and Sophia. My math stayed about the same.

What does is say about me that I can't remember my individual scores?

I know I took some tests. Then I went to college, where there were more tests.

Grammar talk? Cool!

I was born mid-70's and did little grammar in elementary school. I mostly had older teachers in junior high, so we did plenty of sentence diagramming then. However, then it faded away until my senior year when my about-to-retire, cranky-as-hell AP teacher decided to spend a MONTH on gerunds. Saying gerunds are important is one thing, but doing them constantly for a month is painful. (Grammar geeks please note the geeky gerund allusion.) I learned most of my grammar from taking French. I definitely fall into the "never really learned it" camp, though I've done a lot of independent work in years since so as to be a better teacher.

I do desperately wish that I could take a refresher course. It's been so long since I've studied grammar that I've lost some of the terminology, and it's difficult to teach writing without being able to explain WHY a sentence doesn't work as written. I don't want to teach it purely through exercises, but I think that some basic structural lessons might be helpful.

It's always such a struggle in class--I don't want to spend a ton of time on grammar with so much else to teach, but I don't want to neglect it, either. I do tend to teach it individually through writing, but I'm considering starting to do mini-lessons (my old mentor called them "grammar quickies") at the beginning of class from time to time. It's just difficult because some of the students don't know what an adverb is, and others can identify subordinate clauses. Ack.

What does is say about me that I can't remember my individual scores? I think I remember what the combined was, but I wouldn't bet folding money on it, either.

I took the ACTs, so I'm not sure what that would translate too.

Sadly, I recently found out that umpty years later, there can be yet another round of tests.

Me too.

I didn't take the SAT or ACT. And yet they let me go to college. If I go back for a graduate degree I will have to take tests. Oh well. I did take the LSAT and survived. I don't remember the score.

My SAT scores are easy to remember because my combined score is the same as Buffy's, and the verbal and math were the same.

I took the PSAT, the SAT, and the ACT. Don't remember any of the scores, just remember they were high. I first took the SAT in 8th grade to see if I qualified to go to CTY - which I did.
