So most people know about the SAT, the test people take and send to colleges when they apply. Well, I usually had pretty good scores on the PSATs, or practice versions. Then when I took it for real the first time, my scores weren't so good; OK, not great. 610, 600, 540... Then I took it again in June, and I got the results and I did way better! Thank gosh! 700, 680, 740! While I msust admit that the SAT isn't particularly vital, I'm still happy about it.
