Quote: "What is SAT?"
It's a standardized test in the United States that most students going to college take. You can take it as many times as you want (obviously not same exact questions every time, just similar), and whenever you want (usually people don't take it until around 10th (age 15-16, there are 12 grades) grade, because it covers some advanced algebra and geometry). It covers math, reading comprehension, and writing skills. I took it last year, and your score normally improves the second time around. The point of it is that most every college looks at your score as a determining factor of whether to admit you or not, so it's an important test

Lol, there is no "pass" or "fail" just a score out of 2400 (each of 3 parts is worth 800).
Also, questions range from easy to hard, examples from my practice test:
easy

hard

Quote: "Unless you're applying to Harvard that's an excellent score for a first time around. I'm taking mine Oct. 6 too, but I'm too embarrassed to post my SAT scores online. What'd you do to study?"
Heh, I know it's not a very bad score, it's just not great. A lot of my friends got above 2000, and some above 2100
. I haven't studied much yet, but I have the "Official SAT Study Guide", and am taking one of the practice tests in it (done 2 25 minute sections so far, just started today
). The problem is that you can't really study, it's a general knowledge test, so it just depends on how well you know math, writing, grammar, and reading comprehension. Only thing you can somewhat study for is review math and grammar.
