Ha, well. I am wondering what the likelihood of people answering this is.... Not so sure I want to give up that info.

I still need to take mine, but I got a Commendation on the PSAT and 600's in each section of a practice test (including a 12/12 on the essay), so I'm not too worried about it.

When I took the SAT I laughed out loud because there was a question about something involving studying the skulls of cave men. Then it talked about someone walking around and taking random peoples skulls. Funny stuff.

Well, I guess I'll tell since it doesn't really matter, and since I'll probably never meet anyone...
In 8th grade I got 1350 on the SAT 1. I'm prayin I do that well when it really matters.

I, too, took in in 6th or 7th grade. Got in the 98% or 99% percentile for the english on some standardized test. John Hopkins or whatever, right? Did that well in english, now I am an engineer.

Lot of JHU kids here. Me too. My dad made me study for it because if I got a 700 on the math I would get some kind of scholarship or something. So, being the young little vulnerable kid I was, I studied. I got 690 math.

1300 as a freshman with a near perfect in math, but its a low score because I am at a hard-core private school.

I just kinda went in and took it. I had no idea that I was taking it with HSers. I walked in and just thought "oh crap". A couple of my old babysitters were taking the test too, ha.

I went to that camp (CTY) also, and had almost the same experience, right down to the bad roommate. I now regret that I never went to any real camps in the summer.

I was thinking the same. I actually used to go to a private school, but left after two years.
