Lowest Raw Score Ever on the SAT
An anonymous reader writes "Lowest Raw Score Ever on the SAT. Relax! You are practically guaranteed to have done better on the SAT than this guy! But the competition for most extreme negative raw score is just beginning..."
at least he's got a bright future in politics or with Microsoft's QA department
well, it's nothing one behind the ear wouldn't cure
As I can only assume that this page is going to be slashdotted in the next few minutes, I feel its important to share with everyone the best part of the page...
Premise -- dude tries really hard to do really bad on the exam, ends up by accident getting 2 questions right, and scores a 400 on the exam.
"This experiment grew on me as time passed by, and now I am thinking of other
funny angles, like asking Princeton Review or Kaplan if they would be interested
in being able to make the claim that a person who participated in their SAT
preparation course improved his test score by 1200 points!"

I must be very smarty with my 1350. A friggin jeenius. 100 points more than 1250, so 132 + 100 = 232 IQ. Very jeeniousy of me.
Plymouth University just did a study on this. Put monkeys in a room with typewriters and they simply make a mess.
Huh, weird dude.
I know someone that filled in the dots to form pacman-type characters, and he got the second highest score in his school class. His class was of 3 or 4 hundred, and not in the ghetto or anything - it was actually a pretty good high school in suburbia. Not sure what the actual score was, though.
I'd agree, the SAT is a farce. From what I've seen, the ACT is a fair degree better at being consistent, although it definately seems to favor logically minded folks over creative folks.

Lots and lots of people are in the top 2% of humanity.
Judging from a quick mental run-through of the SAT scores and IQs of people I know, I'd say about 1/3 of everybody fits in the 98th percentile.
And about 2/3 of everybody has at least one shoebox full of blue ribbons.
We're one spart pack of motherfuckers, I tell ya.
The truth is, SAT scores fall on a range of 400-1600 because they are calculated by rolling 4d4.
Great. An excuse for thousands of nerds to brag about their SAT scores :)
A deep unwavering belief is a sure sign you're missing something...
It seems like you need to drink more often. Kill the slow and lazy brain cells.... :)
It's just you idiots who scored less than 1500 who think otherwise ;)
