"2000 was the new barrier to break for bragging rights."

I got a 2230. I was in the top 25% in the SAT II tests as well. The SAT doesn't really mean anything. Its all about gaming the system; knowing which ones to skip, picking answers by elimination, how long each question should take depending on how close it is to the end of the section... I spent a couple weeks beforehand studying the probability that any given answer choice would be the correct one (I recall that D and E are the most common, I think?).

And I've since discovered that the SAT is nothing like tests in college. And I'm sure tests in college have nothing to do with reality.

I just happened to go to school with a lot of people who were pretentious and super competitive. I never really studied for the SATs, and 1860 was a pretty decent score to manage coasting.

Some people I knew took it 3-4 times until they got that perfect score they wanted, I was happy with what I got since I wasn’t trying to apply to Harvard.
