Holy balls! That's what, 720 in either section? Christ!

I got a 660 in math and writing and a 560 in verbal, so pre-2005 I wouldve gotten a 1220.

Yeah, that would be the PSATs. Anyway, I still haven't gotten my results back.

I took it as a freshmen. At my school it is required we take it and we have to pay to see our results, except for sophomores for whatever reason don't have to pay. But anyway, I got 85% on critical reading, 97% on math, and 94% on writing skills

. Did way better than last year, only got a 159 :-\.

750/690 verbal/math, which was always kinda odd since I always did better in math than my lit/comp/english classes. That was my best from two tests, mind you. I remember one guy in my class took the test six times to get the 1600. What a nerd... I was totally jealous.

My girlfriend and I actually give these things to each other as gifts during the gifty holidays. I currently have beer yeast, salmonella, and African sleeping sickness.

high school exam scores really don't mean much at all when it comes to real life - it doesn't measure intelligence at all - I know quite a few people who did extremely well with their test scores but I wouldn't consider them that smart, and vice versa (some people who did relatively bad with their scores but a far more intelligent than most people)

what's the old saying? Just because you're book smart doesn't mean you're not a chump

What do you mean give each other gifts? Are they the diseases or the plush?

That is, of course, very true. My collegiate grades plummeted sharply... too much fun. Learn from your elders, children. Alcohol in moderation.

Lmao we exchange the plushes. I gave her some staph too. I also gave my best friend gonorrhea... see why these things are fun?

I took the ACT last year as a Freshman (and will re-take it this year) and got a 24 on it

I took the PSAT a couple months ago And got 660\680 on the two English sections and an 800 in math.

I didn't pay too much attention to it (it was a preparatory test for something that I'd already taken...I didn't see the point) and it said I'd make a 26-30.

Neoteny, one of my science teachers had these beaniebaby-esque AIDS dolls that would get thrown about during class. Same thing?

Similar concept, but I don't think the brand I use has AIDS available. And no beans. I just checked again and they've added some new ones. MRSA caught my eye...

EDIT: I lied. HIV is hidden at the bottom of the page for some reason. It's pretty sinister-looking...

I don't know what I got on my PSAT for 9th grade, haven't gotten my scores yet... But I did take the SAT in 7th grade as part of a talent search and got like a 610 in math and like a 560 in Reading.

Wow. See, I suck at the verbal for some reason. I got a 700 in math and a 580 in reading...not very balanced, so I decided to use my ACT scores for my colleges.

Strange thing is, I just took the GRE, didn't even finish the math portion, and ended up getting a 700 out of 800, as opposed to a 590 on the verbal. I don't know what I am, but it sure as hell isn't consistent.
