So, scholarly types - is 1860 a good SAT score?

Yes, possibly impossibly so, as I think 800 or 900 was the high end on each (at least back when I took them). Did they change the scoring in the last...20 or so years?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Apparently:

The best possible score on the SAT is a 2400, a score achieved by just hundreds of the more than a million students who take the SAT each year. The average SAT score is about 1540.

Average SAT scores for some colleges:

* Harvard - 2200
* Williams - 2125
* University of Virginia - 2000
* UCLA - 1900
* Iowa State - 1825
* Ohio State - 1800
* DePaul - 1750
* Arizona - 1700
* Indiana University- 1650

Yeah, the scoring has changed and I'm too lazy to look it up. There were three sections and she got 600+ in each.

Wikipedia tells me that an 1860 is somewhere between 1220-1280, for all of us older folk.

And so, as usual, K-Bug is above average in every way.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

What the heck is in the other section?!?

edit: I looked it up and it looks like a writing part. Also, there are no analogies! I love the analogies! Bring back the analogies!

She wants to take it again. She is unhappy with her score.

Who is this child?!?!?!?!?

Heh, I guess they leave the legacies out of those statistics because I've met more Harvard students who were dumber than a sack of hammers than from any other college in the Boston area. That includes Bunker Hill Community College.

I actually had to go look up SAT scores to understand how one could get an 1860, because when I took the thing, a perfect score was 1600. They changed the test in 2005, huh? All righty, then.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Fred, I'm so happy to hear Teddy is doing better!

ION, these modern kids are crazy, with the SAT-retaking madness.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

INallabout me, I am the third person in an 8 person library to get the ick. most fun symptom for anyone that works in a library- stoopidbrain. The two that were recovering and myself had very empty looks on our faces. I had no idea how to get the toner cartiage out of the fax. I came home after story time. Because I just got the ick.
