[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you guys score so low on your SATs compared to what kids score today? Didn’t prep?[/quote]

Prep?  I took it in the 80s.  No one "prepped".  I can't even recall taking it more than once.  We showed up on a Saturday morning, took the test, and that was that.[/quote]

I took it in 1983 and 1984 - never prepped.  Maybe the English teacher gave us a new vocabulary list but no prep.  Football game Friday night,  SAT in the morning.[/quote]

In the late 90s, I "test prepped" by coming home immediately after the football game on Friday night to try to get a good night's sleep for the test.[/quote]

YES!!!

1985- No "prepping" for SAT unless you count the plan to meet at the diner after the test and eat breakfast and lunch in one sitting.  I don't remember my score (around 1300 maybe?) but I do remember EXACTLY what I ordered that day!  (Eggs Benedict, short stack of pancakes, BLT and fries with gravy, and the 4 of us split a Napoleon pastry for dessert. I weighed 98 pounds back then! those were the days.
