...May SAT scores are now available on the web.

Very cool, Texan -- how did you do?

I scored 1150 in 1976! (it was a much harder test back then)

No, no, PD. "May", not "My".

Besides, I can't remember that far back.

I didn't do well, but it took too long to chisel my answers onto the flat rock.

The stone tablets were heck on the 1st generation scantrons as well.

scantrons

Now there is a word I have not heard for sometime now.

Plus, the raptor ate my homework (and the family pet as well).

Not to mention that we had to walk 13 miles to school, barefoot, uphill both ways...

In the snow and rain.

Isn't it amazing how we talk about walking to school through the snow, then remind our kids that we did not have air conditioning in our schools.

Wouldn't you all like to know?

Okay so what is considered a good score?

Never mind I found out my answer.

From collegeboard.com

"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".

Just letting all of you parents out there that might not know, most colleges (in Texas the only major college I know of as an exception would be Texas A&M) take the best score from all the tests combined. Meaning, if I got a 600 on math the first time, 700 the second time, then 600 the third time, when calculating the score, they would take the 700. Texas A&M takes the best overall score from one test, and the scores a student got on that test are the scores they look at. It can be confusing... but I had no idea about this until earlier this year.
