I got an 875 my final sat exam. That was after a review course. I think like 600 was verbal or something because I am a speed reader and English junkie. I still got into college and got my BA in English Lit, made the dean's list. Now that I am older and more stable I am thinking about going back to school to become a teacher. You hear that they dont matter and they dont. There have been numerous studies to prove that they are not accurate. I have always been a bad test taker. A lot of schools are accepting the ACT's but I have never taken them before.
