It sounds like the new scoring systems has everyone a bit confused... some schools asked for all three scores, but only consider the reading & math scores.\n\nHere are average scores on the most recent test: 520 math and 508 verbal for a combined score of 1028.  The most selective schools (e.g., ivy league) typically had SAT averages north of 1400 (combined math & verbal, not all three tests).\n\nSo I guess it's a question of how you did on the math & verbal, and what is your goal in terms of schools.  You can find out what your target schools' average SAT scores for entering Freshmen by looking on their websites or contacting their admissions offices.

man, grading scales have become lenient.  Just 6 years back you had to have a 94+ to get an A. Back then 77 would have been a D.

If you mean that your son is in 12th grade this year, I would strongly advise not changing schools. Let him graduate with his class and send him to summer school to improve his writing and reading or get him a tutor. Your son will have to be motivated to improve his skills himself in order for any improvement program to work.

I would go to your dad and say "Dad I didn't do very well on my test.  I would like for you to review it and help me with the ones i got wrong.".\n\nThat way your dad will show you how to answer the wrong one for another time (teachers have a way of bringing  up old questions) and then ask your dad if you can get extra help on this class.\n\nA 71 is not too bad.. i mean it isn't like you got an F right?\n\nAs long as you ask your dad to help you with the wrong one it will show him that you are looking for help.

I had  the same problem, I'd been out of high school for 4 yrs. Try to remember stuff from the test, don't try to remeber the answers, it will be a different test, but study the general knowledge type stuff that was on it, reading comprehension, math etc. take your time, use the scratch paper for the math. " when in doubt Charlie out" a common saying in the Navy for testing, meaning pick C if you've tried really hard to answer and rule out the stupid ones, or if your between A and C pick C. Fair winds and following seas...( means good luck!!)

I have never heard that before. My husband has a much higher I.Q. than I do and our male son is very smart. More so than I was as a child. On his Kindergarten placement test he scored 99% nationwide. I was a B student growing up and if I really applied myself could pull of an A or two. I definitely attribute his intelligence to his dad.

Try the bitesize website. Which is a UK school revision site. But math is the same the world over so that should not matter

It is easier to put them back in at the start of the school year. There are pretty intense placement tests they go through, but if you've done a good job it will be no problem. If your child is young for their grade and they want to move him back, try to be open minded. It can make a huge difference in socialization. The only time I knew of someone having a problem was into high school. There were issues with graduating and receiving a diploma because of required credits.

Most pay attention to more than just test scores.  If you have a 4.0 GPA and a 17 ACT score, then you can look at a lot more places then with a 2.6.\n\nI would recommend studying for the test and taking the ACT/SAT multiple times.

are you 16 and in college because you skipped 2 grades? or are you in the dual-enrollment program? because thats NOT the same as being in college.

What do you have to be worried about, it's just a standerdized test.  It doesn't count towards your grade or anything.  I get straight A's in school, but I never worry about tests like that because my grade is not affected by them.

I am a special education teacher, and also the mother of a child with special needs (learning disabilities, ADHD, OCD, and a bunch of other diagnoses).\n\nMom to mom.... don't freak about this.\n\nYou hit the nail on the head when you noted that HE is not phased by the idea of doing kindergarten again.\n\nThe BEST time for repeating grades is in Kindergarten and/or 1st grade.  This allows him to get a good foundation of those basic skills, rather than falling farther and farther behind while being presented work of greater and greater difficulty.\n\nEven at higher grades, if he did the repeating thing early on, most kids won't notice that he's that much older than them. However, bullies will be bullies, and they find something to pick on with everybody... just report them and the school should deal with it.\n\nWhen he is 30 years old, nobody will care if he graduated at 18, 19, or even 21! All they'll care about is whether he has a high school diploma or not. If he goes to college...the college won't care what age he got the high school diploma, either!\n\nYou said he is in a private school. Is he getting speech therapy for his apraxia? Is his teacher trained in special education methods? You do know that the public schools will still provide speech therapy and special educator resource services for children in private school (required by law).  \n\nIf this private school he's attending didn't get you and him linked to the services he needs, if their teachers do not have special education training... I would strongly recommend that you seek a different school for him. With his learning differences, he really needs teachers highly trained in instruction methods for kids with language disabilities and ADHD, as well as speech therapy. How's his handwriting? Have they discussed Occupational Therapy for him? \n\nTwo years retention is really the most he should ever have. In public school, especially in special education, retention is rare and usually only involves repeating kindergarten once and/or 1st grade once. Additional instruction needs are taken care of through pull-out special education with specialists trained in helping students with learning differences build their learning skills.\n\nThe earlier the correct intervention, the better off he will be in the long run. \n\nIf you want to keep him out of public schools for faith reasons, you may need to look at moving to a place where there is a Christian private special education school.  If you can't afford to move, you may have to trust that your and your church's instruction of faith will be enough to compensate for the concerns you have with public schools, and send him to the special education teachers and therapists that can give him the academic help he needs. \n\nLook at these sites:\n\nhttp://www.wcris.org/WebFiles/ResourceFiles/ESeries4.doc\n\nhttp://www.policyreview.org/jan99/fox.html\n\nhttp://dpi.wi.gov/sped/doc/prischpart.doc\n\nAn example of public school provision of special ed to private school students: http://www.sandi.net/comm/factsheets/special_ed_pppss.pdf (requires Adobe Acrobat)\n\nFinding a new private school?

C, C, C, Just take a guess, I did! You'll do fine, on the SAT. The more you question yourself about it, the worse you will probably do. Good Luck!

Colleges aren't going to care if you went to two schools or not. They just care about you G.P.A, and Sat or act score. Also that you have taken 4 yrs of math, english, and science.

They will probably want your SATs (though you can take it again if you think you will score higher).  They will not weight them as highly as they would someone without a track record.\n\nAs for residency, each state has its own requirements.  The schools you apply to should be able to give you more information.
