Wow, no history that's stupid, I'm a history wizz, or was. I've got a 136 IQ or thereabouts. I plan on getting the study books that they have, I already have a vocabulary one. Anyways, thanks everyone.

tribdog said:OHHHH! It's so hard to say this without sounding like a jerk. Everyone I've ever heard make up an IQ claims that their IQ is 136. Just enough to qualify as genius, but not the absolute lowest genius. I've taken a few IQ tests and everytime I get a score it is a multiple of 5.
tribdog said:I got a 210 on an internet iq test once. Sounds pretty accurate to me
binzing said:Well, the IQ test has and is being proven to be nearly worthless anyways.
Schrodinger's Dog said:That artistic ability or creative endeavour is not reflected by the tests. I asked earlier why then people get through the net without being good students, I didn't receive an answer, so I assumed either they didn't or they did but ended up doing crappy jobs or degrees at crappy Universities that they didn't really have any real aptitude for.
Quincy said:I took the SAT on May 3 and got my score back a couple of days ago:
Critical Reading: 580
Math: 650
Writing: 630
Composite: 1860/2400
Is that good enough for U of Maryland-College Park? Or should I take it again?
acolavin said:but generally schools don't just look at your SAT/ACT.
awvvu said:My school (in Maryland) has this college tracking program that plots accepted people's SAT and GPA scores on a graph. Most of our graduating seniors go to UMD CP, so this should be helpful for you:

A lot of people consider UMDCP as their safety school, but supposedly this year's admissions were pretty tough and some qualified people were deferred to spring enrollment.
You can see from the plot that everyone with a 2000+ SAT and 3.5+ GPA were accepted. To answer your question though, you should definitely take it again, especially if it was your first try. You'll probably do better the second time (with a lot of practice too).
Quincy said:Thanks a lot man, that is really helpful. My schools has the same college tracking program but only about 10 people from my school apply to UMD-CP so there's not enough information to make any predictions... Anyways, I guess I'll take it agian then, since all i did to prepare for this one was take two practice tests...
Edit: Btw, how many times did you take it & what did you do to prepare? And is 1530/2230 your superscore?
Quincy said:I took the ACT and got a 31 (English: 34, Math: 33, Reading: 31, Science: 27)... If I send both my SAT score and my ACT score, would the ACT score make up for the SAT score?
