I had a friend in high school who got 1600, and a 35 on his ACT. Smartest guy I ever knew, multitalented, appeared in lots of plays at Michigan, very kind.

800 math, 680 verbal. I'm fairly certain that if I took it again today, those scores would be completely reversed."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

800M 800V 780W. Probably helped a lot on getting me into school.

If you went through an SAT guide as an adult with work ethic, instead of a kid, you'd get 800s across the board. By their own rules, they're only allowed to ask a handful of types of questions, all of which can be solved algorithmically (yes, even the verbal ones.)"You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known.

Sure, the essay is a bit of a crapshoot - it was where my writing score got dinged - but the rest of the writing section is actually the most predictable. The majority of the questions are about parallel structures, subject-verb agreement, or noun-pronoun agreement. On occasion there will be questions about idiomatic preposition usage - "depends on," "consists of," "enamored of," that sort of thing. There are also maybe a couple of other categories I haven't thought of right now.
I ran an SAT prep business in 2009, which is why I know this sort of thing off the top of my head."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

2260 (790M/740V/730W). Didn't really do any prep except a practice test or two (and the experience of having taken it in 7th grade as well, sans the writing part of course). It was good enough to get me in to where I wanted to be, so I didn't bother to retake -- there was no way I was going to waste another five hours of drudgery just to improve slightly.

1590, didn't even take the test. Too easy. Knew it all by kindergarten.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
