Hey guys 

Have you ever taken the SAT I? If yes, when did you take them? And how much did you score on each subject?
I'm currently preparing myself to take it in November and/or January. I'm studying my brains off. :weeps.

Which colleges did you apply to? Which colleges accepted you?

I'd love to know these things about anyone who replies.

I'm going to in a few weeks, but a ton of people have said they're difficult because they cram every subject you've taken all into one, 3-5 hour test.

The SAT I does not contain every subject you've taken. It contains three subjects:
Critical Reading
Math
Writing

I took it but I don't think I did very well...I like the ACTs better.

Took the SAT once, I hated it, never took it again. I took the ACT 10 times since starting my freshman year, the highest I got on the ACT was a 30 and an 11 on the writing. Not sure what my SAT score was, I didn't end up sending it anywhere.

I got a 2100, if you're looking for ways to get ready you should check out a site called testrocker.com. They offer a free trial and a phone call with one of their experts to figure out how you should be studying

Yes, I took the SAT's and received an 1800 the second time (1760 the first time). I was expecting better, so I took the ACT's and got a 28. Overall, I felt that I did just okay, but in hindsight, I don't think I'm smart enough to have done much better, so whatevs. I took them in June of junior year and October of senior year. Applied to mostly local colleges and universities, and I'm currently attending Drew University.

You don't need ads or programs to do well- only a good brain.

I haven't taken the SAT, they don't really do that here in Arkansas. I mean, you can take it, but it's easier to take the ACT, which I only made a 22 on.

1950 on the SATs, I took it twice and only improved from 1900-1950. I wanted to get 2000, but whatever. I didn't do any studying at all and got Reading: 670, Math: 660, Writing: 620 if I remember correctly.
