Just curious, I didn't prep, didn't study, hell even remember what I got (800-1000? Whatever lower than mids was I'm p sure??)
I was going to art school, so I knew it was pointless for me
I treated it like I was an allstar quarterback, completely above it because of my learned skills in art
but on top of that, I knew just like the IQ test, this was like trying to apply numbers to moods, just fully 100% gobblygook nonsense
My parents got me an SAT tutor, but that was mostly just a way to force me to study. I got a 1550, but I will blame that on my school being a really good public school and me being a massive nerd.
Thats what the "typical" process most kids with an academic future had in my exp, but I knew I wasn't! Plus also my parents already gave up on me lol
I didn't study much at all for the SAT, but only because I was already studying for the ACT (which the ppl at my school emphasized way more)
Ahhh I see, some folks were like that for both but the SAT was da big one
not really. I suppose taking the PSAT might be considered preparation.
I got a great SAT score and it meant nothing. it's mostly a test of rote memorization (and the various tricks for maximizing scores on multiple choice tests even when you don't know the material well) ~Chara
It's the main reason I was bad at public school education and didn't even try for any capital T Tests™️
did that end up causing trouble for you? "standardized" testing is such a racket, and I'm glad you managed to avoid its clutches.
I had the opposite problem: I had the kind of mind that was good at getting high schools on superficial tests, which landed me in a real pickle once I got to college, and I flunked out hard on my first try and was never a good student. but for a while I fooled everyone into thinking I was brilliant...mostly on the strength of high test scores.
I really hate how those things are veritably worshipped. awful nerds believe in "IQ" largely on the strength of such things...
Nah it fucked me hard, and left me questioning my worth, so the typical public edu experience here in the US
Would have been better off never learning in school, and I'm so serious
oh I believe it. I think schooling really messed us up anyway, partly because we had an unhappy home and family and therefore school could masquerade for a time as a kind of "home away from home", and we got altogether too attached to schooling and approval from teachers and so forth.
We had the ACT instead where I was, but I similarly did not study for it. I remember someone else in the class getting REALLY mad about this when I scored like one point below them, but it's literally just a test to see if you're good at standardized tests
It's all horseshit, like if I had listened to my instincs instead of my parents, I could have fucked off the entire four years of hs and been not only fine, better off having not gotten trauma in the first place
I extremely didn't prep and I did really well. I've always been a really good test-taker which basically compensated for my failure to ever get homework done!
It tried to study for it. I ended up taking it three times and not scoring that high. Looking back those tests were such a waste of time and not even remotely how college was.
