Yeah, it's just as bad!!! Seriously, on the English, I got a 19 (45 percentile), because it's 70 insane grammar questions in 40 minutes! On the math, I got 29, Reading 28, and Science 34 (99 percentile :mrgreen:). Composite = 27 (90 percentile), too bad, without English, it would be a 30. You can try the ACT, but just don't be surprised if you don't do better than the SAT on it.

Looking back and knowing what I know now, I'd suggest studying latin roots. You can use them to derive the meanings of most words. I read somewhere that students who study latin do 15% better on the SAT verbal section.

I was a bad student. I think I had a gpa < 2.8. I took the SAT twice and got a 1300 the first time, and a 1390 the second time. My scores were higher than the majority of people at my school, because I read books... maybe my teachers could have picked that habit--but hey, I protested school by showing up < 60% of the time and trying to drop out starting my sophomore year, though I didn't get out until halfway through my senior year.

Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.
