Not sure if this was posted but here goes.

You see, I took my ACT's awhile back but since I decided to apply to a certain university (that I probably won't get accepted to), I had to take the SAT subject tests too.

I just got back the results online but my reaction is very stupid because I don't know what the hell is a good or not. Does anyone know? I'm not expecting anything that'll blow my mind because the day I took those tests, I remember leaving with my head hung low (thinking I wasted a bunch of hard-earned money on a test that I should have studied for). sigh. Anywho....I took the U.S. History portion, Literature and Spanish.

Man I suck, but whose to tell? I don't know what the scores mean.

ahem...

This is what I got.

Literature--650
Spanish--520
U.S. History--600

So???
I understand the ACT scale but not the SAT scale too much.

In my opinion, I thought taking the ACT's was waaaaay easier(scored pretty darn well!). I don't really know how the SAT reasoning test was like, but if it was as "out there" as the Subject Tests were, then SAT's seem hard.

if i remember correctly. i think your's is above average, not too bad. if u can get close to 700 or even go over 700, then that'd be pretty good

^^ Hmm, for the subject test, i dont think 500 is average test, for example, the mean score of math 2 is 670

but for the reasoning test, ya 500 is average cool.gif
