This should be interesting. Probably smell a lot of burning pants.

Mine was certainly nothing of greatness. Only a 21 my first time and 24 the 2nd time. My english score killed me both times.....damn southern ohio.

My 15-year-old daughter just got hers back and scored a 26. She wants to take it again after her junior year.

31 ... math held me back. Funny because on the GRE it was the opposite, my math was higher than my verbal.

nice....math was my saving grace

After the test, I thought I did really well on the english part, when I got my score back I thought I must've colored in the wrong circles for the question. My 2nd time was better but proved much of the same.

27 both times...science got me (maybe it was just my negative attitude about science that cost me)

I worked in admissions at my university, I remember seeing some 11's.

You get 10 for spelling your name right.

Good God, I'd say. What did you get in the other two? 34?

I needed a 21 to reach the certain level of admissions I wanted. I got a 22 the first time and didn't take it again. If I took it again, I'm sure I would have gotten either a 35 or a 10.

I'd say Rio Grande would've taken an 11.

Loves these threads, they always bring out the smartest of the smart! :D

I got a 26. I always hated Science, and it came back to bite me.

Sounds like you must've done pretty well on all of them.

31. don't remember how i did on the parts, but do know my low score was the reading part.

oddly enough i did much worse than i thought (based on my ACT score) on the SAT, like a 1050.

25 the first time, 28 the second. Science sucked. I was so tired of the test the second time, I blind guessed a large part of the science section and got around a 19, after getting a 21 the first time (might have been the other way around). Did fairly well in English and Math - 33 and 30.

I got a 31. The lowest I ever heard was a 9. Rumors flew in my hometown, that it cost him a schollie to Penn State.
