My SAT Test Results=Happiness

I have viewed my SAT Test results that arrived last evening. This was an important event because the University I am applying for has different categories for admission, and the primary factor in my case is due to the fact that I graduated from High School over 5 years ago. The benefit of falling into this category is that I am exempt from being scrutinized for any failed courses I took in HS, and in my case there were a few. This category is also exempt from having to pass the SAT or ACT test, and instead the school administers its own placement exams.

However, if a student scores 500 or better on the SAT Critical Reading and Reasoning test (and 500 on the math test, which I opted not to take because I stink at math) they may opt out of the University's placement exam. I believe my score on the SAT Reading test better reflects my abilities in that area, so that's why I took it. And so, here are the results:

Test Date	Test	Score	National Percentile
11/2008	SAT Reasoning Test
	Critical Reading	680	93%
	Math	330	5%
	Writing	530	62%
	Multiple Choice	56 (score range: 20-80)
	Essay	6 (score range: 2-12)

I beat my own expectations on the reading portion, I was predicting 75 to 85% of a National Percentile. I also expected a better score in the writing department, even though it passed (still, it's irrelevant to my admission) I guess it just proves that I am a lazy writer. As for the math, well, what can I say? As my You Tube profile reads, the practice of mathematics is not one of my interests, although I am interested in the history of math and mathematicians.

But the primary test, the TRUE GEM is that Reading score. I'm so proud of myself! It's so beautiful, I think I'll enjoy some Harvest Moon pumpkin ale! CHEERS!
