Is that good for the first time?

Can somebody explain to me what the gosh dang an SAT is, I've never took the time to look it up.

Wtf is a SAT?
That's a verb from what I know....

Oh right, I keep forgetting.

Most of darkSpyro is not American.

For the first time I'd say that's pretty good. I never took the SAT myself, always found the ACT much easier so I went that path.

Just that the other countries are more loud.

CANADIANS ARE NOT LOUD!

Eh?

What's an SAT? I'm from Canada

For people who don't know: SATs are more or less standardized tests in the US for high school students. They are more or less the most important test you will take in high school, as a huge amount of colleges and universities use your SAT scores to determine how well you fit into their school.

Think GCSE (or whatever the Canadian/Australian/Kiwi equivalent is) but probably with a smaller range of subjects.

EDIT: Also I didn't take the SATs yet.

National average: 1500
My state's average (Georgia): 1452
"Good" score (as said by the College Board): 1550
My composite score: 1740

So yeah, I think I did pretty good.

Congrats on the high SAT score!
I'm a freshman so I haven't taken the SAT yet.

Thank you, and you can go ahead and take it! I wish I'd have taken it earlier.

I got a 1330 on my PSAT but I guessed a lot on it. I'm taking it in June.

We have SATs here in Australia, too. Never heard of GCSE before.. >.>

SATs over here are taken before going into secondary school and help you if you want to get into a better school.

GCSEs are qualifications awarded in chosen subjects when you're in secondary school usually between ages of 14-16

In England we have GCSE's...

At the end of primary school and the start of high school we did SATs.

I got a 10000 in all of them.

No problem! And I wasn't even aware I could take it this early. I know this and last year my school offered PSATs that we had to pay a small fee to take (I didn't take, but I wish I did. Probably next year though), but I'll have to look into the SATs. I thought we had to take SATs junior or senior year... Goes to show how clueless I am about the state testing

Standardized testing is a pox on our education system. (Totally not saying that because I still have the MCATs to look forward to...) Anyhow, as to your question. That seems like a pretty average score. I know some people say the average for the current SATs is 1500. But it's really more like a range of 1500-1800. Not that it really matters, you can keep taking that test as many times as you want. Personally, of the two testing behemoths, the ACT is the current lesser of 2 evils. <.<;
