I hope you can understand this.  If not, I can make some pretty charts [/quote]

I got a 1440 on my SATs, 700 on verbal, 740 on math. For a lot of kids in my school, the average was about 900 combined. I think that if you get over 700 on both sections of the test, you're pretty well-set... of course, SATs and ACTs aren't the only things that colleges look at.

My friend, who was valedictorian and had a higher GPA than me got far lower on his SATs than I did. In fact, I think I got the highest SAT score in my class, but there are definitely people smarter than me. It all depends. I think I just took the right test the right month, and knew what the people were asking.

I'm so self-demeaning... lol

1440! That's a most excellent score. I got a 1470 (800 math, 670 verbal), so we're both in the 1400s club. The funny thing is that I took the test 3 times and made the same score every time.
