Why is my SAT score so bad?

Question

My SAT score is pretty bad. i got a 1760. but my friend got a 2200! The reason i'm asking this is because I have straight A's in all my classes, while she has 2 As, B's, and a C! We both did not take any SAT prep classes. i dont understand why she got such a higher score than me, and why i did so bad!! Does the SAT really measure how smart you are? Then i must be dumb, despite all the straight A's i have?

Answer 1

The SAT scores only go up to 1600

Answer 2

straigh a's doesnt mean your really smart. im a b and c student but i get abnormally high test scores. to get an a you just have to turn your stuff in on time and listen in class. the sat is a test where you find out how smart you are despite grades

Answer 3

ACT or SAT do not truly show how smart you are. Besides, you are probably smarter in other areas rather than just English and Math...but dont worry too much about it. It's ok. :D

Answer 4

isnt the max score on a sat 1600.. so how the h**l did you gove over?

Answer 5

She studied harder for it.  It is simple math and simple reading.  The more you study for it, the better you will do in my opinion.

Answer 6

It means you don't know how to approach the test. Go take more practice ones.
