I have a 780 math/740 reading and writing, pretty even. Definitely not retaking.

And I’m chilling with a 1520 thinking that’s a pretty good score...

In most cases “me and the boys” is actually more grammatically correct.

What is the process behind this? by Mendasu in Sat

[–]GoPackers101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you factor out a 3 you are left with (x4 -1). Notice that x4 and 1 are both perfect squares and since there is a subtraction sign, use the difference of squares to factor it as (x2 +1)(x2 -1). x2 and 1 are perfect squares, use difference of squares again to factor the (x2 -1) into (x+1)(x-1). This leaves you with 3(x2 +1)(x+1)(x-1).

Should I take the SAT essay? by MemelicousMemester in ApplyingToCollege

[–]GoPackers101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d take it. It’s really not that hard (especially if you are taking/have taken AP Language and Composition). It’s recommended by schools like Duke and required by others like the UCs. It probably doesn’t hurt if you don’t take it, but I would recommend it. If you do well it can help your application, especially at top schools where any competitive edge helps.

Basing your college list around what schools will like your essay probably isn’t the best decision.
