I have to take them tomorrow and I have no clue what they are about. I saw some practice ones so I know there is Math, Science, English, and Reading, but that's it. Does anyone know if they are graded like the SAT's where you lose points for wrong answers? Any other info is appriciated. So if all you have to say is, I'm 12 but I've heard of them before, dont post in this please.
 
there is no penalty for guessing unlike SAT'S , im taking them tomorrow too and i dont know that much about them either.
 
i think a perfect is 35 or 36 points, i have it tommorrow to, and i'm scared ########, i heard most colleges dont look at you unless you have at least a 21
 
i take mine tommorrow too and i took the workshop last saturday. i got a 26 on the practice so it shouldnt be to bad
 
okay.... theyre out of 36... and you dont lose points for answering so ANSWER EVERYTHING!!!! but other than that its pretty much the same set up as the SAT
 
thanks man, you just made me relax soo much more cause I was guessing on like have the english and reading practice ones.
 
yea I suck at english so I got a 1680 on SAT's. Im wicked good at math and science though so thats why I was told to take these.
 
alright man, here is the deal- don't read the directions on the science part. You should be able to answere most of the questions right off. The directions are a waste of time. The questions mostly ask you questions about graphs and stuff, so don't bother reading through multi-paragraph directions. It is easy shit.

And even on the SAT, it is mathmatically better to just guess- especially if you can narrow it down to 2-3 options.
 
I thought they were mad easy except for the english section. I didn't do the writing part and from what I heard, most colleges don't take them unless you do it. Does anyone know if they take the best scores on each section if you retake them, or is it just best test?
