Hahaahha...Sarah Palin's SAT Score!

[jaejonna]

Then why go to college if it isn't going to make you any smarter.  why go to school at all

maybe cause an alien falcon with swoop down and enlighten you ?

[chester_bbb]

That's like saying "I could only bench 150 in high school so that means I'm not strong."

Even if you're benching 400 now.

She can see Russia from her backyard.

[Hugo Chavez]

What does this prove?

An SAT score from 1982?

How about showing some Ronald Reagan movies from the 40's and what that has to do with anything.

uhhhhh.... That proves Palin was a dumbshit in 82 and Reagan was a movie star in th 40's  and?

[chester_bbb]

When you can run a city or a state and end up being chosen for vice-president, then you can lecture somebody on how much of an "idiot" Sarah Palin is.

You post this mess, yet you have the gall to call someone else a "moron". IQ tests don't mean JACK in the real world. There are many people with high IQs who can barely balance a checkbook. They have lots of "book" smarts but their common sense is out the window.

All Palin has done is graduate from high school and college, become a two-time mayor, and become the FIRST female governor of Alaska. In less than a month, she could become the first female VP in history. What she's accomplished politically in such a short time is, by any standard, impressive.

Hard work and tenacity will get you farther in life than a high IQ.

Somehow americans voted bush into office twice. What does that tell you.

I'm saying what the hell does it have to do with today?

If you want to test somebody's intelligence, give them an IQ test.

Don't rely on an SAT from High School for Christ's sake.

Another dumb non-issue.  Big mal where are you?  Why aren't you jumping all over this thread? 

[JohnnyVegas]

need a little higher than 850 to get into Colombia and then Harvard Law

You forget he is a minority, and that can go a long way in getting into an elite university.

Im not saying he had low tes scores, just saying it helps.

[JohnnyVegas]

The 75th percentile for Columbia admissions is:
Reading 760
Math 780
Writing 750

That is the new testing methods.

With the old high mark of 1600 total, it was possible and very common to get a perfect score of 1600 and still not be accepted to Columbia and other Ivy league schools.

I'd have to wonder if that listing for Palin is accurate.  That is a very poor score...
The average score that year was around 1,000.

A score of 850 on the SAT would have corresponded to about a 17 on the ACT.  I don't even think you're allowed to play college athletics with that score.

I dont know who told you a perfect score of 1600 (on old test) was "very common", but it is not only uncommon but nearly impossible to get. Less than 200 students per year, out of 300K, received perfect 1600 SAT test scores. A 1600 SAT score is a guaranteed admission to ANY University in America. Bar none.

It would be like getting a perfect score on the LAST-180. You get a 180 LSAT and you will be adimitted to ANY law school in America-even if you had a 1.5 GPA.

[Option D]

Are u kidding me...Comparing a Obama smoking cigs on campaign trail and the VP hopeful's sat score that equals that of a 9th grader are apples and oranges...you know that

I didn't say that a perfects score on the test was very common, I said it was common to not be accepted to schools with a perfect score.  I know a female with a perfect score that went to Brown because she wasn't accepted to Harvard or Yale. 

This is for grad school, but here's an example of a student in Physics:

GPA in Major: 4.00
Overall GPA: 4.00
Length of Degree: 4 Years
Position in Class: Top
Type of Student: non-handicapped middle class white American male

GRE Scores:
Q: 800
V: 770
W: 4.5 (was originally a 5.5 but I asked ETS for a rescore... my advice: don't try that)
P: 990

Perfect GPA, Perfect GPA in major, PERFECT Physics GRE score....check out some of the questions on that exam...

This fella was rejected by both MIT and Harvard. 
He got into Princeton, Stanford and CalTech, but even with a perfect GPA and perfect PGRE he was rejected by two top schools. 

Imagine if he had a 1.5 GPA to go with that perfect score.

You gotta be kidding me.  You think an SAT score that someone took when they were 16 or 17 years old is relevant? 

[Option D]

Shows that she isnt very smart..and People form alaska arent that smart for electing her...

It shows she bombed the SAT as a teenager.  I take it you have a major problem with Obama's teenage drug use?

if it were crack...yes...weed...not so much...

I would be the same on obama if he did so poorly on the sat...

He used weed and coke. 

I can't tell you how ridiculous I think this is.  I do a lot of interviewing and I have never asked a prospective candidate what their SAT score was, nor do I care, particularly if they have a history of accomplishment.

Yep Kevin Garnett couldn't get a 18 when he was in High School, that's why he went straight to the pros...

[Busted]

i'm no palin fan.  there was a guy who scored a 13 on the act, made it into college (colorado state univ) and was a complete f up (pot smokers ala wackdaddy and his female ghost) but grad.  prof thought he wasnt a focused individual but had talent.  guy ended up completing his ph.d. (immunology) and is respected guy in his field in colorado.

you cant count on sats/acts.  if there are things going on (esp negative) in a person's life...then a bad score usually comes from lack of prep.  basically...someone just walks in and takes it.

I count it when she cant do a simple interview that makes her look incompetent.  Then seeing this test score explains to us why...

[MCWAY]

It tells me that the so-called smart liberals failed to produce a candidate that could beat Bush.....TWICE!!!

And, despite having a huge monetary and media edge, they're in a tooth-and-nail battle with McCain.

Crying about how dumb your opponents are, WHEN YOU LOSE TO THOSE OPPONENTS MULTIPLE TIMES, makes you look childish.

[LurkerNoMore]

Palin admitted to using drugs too.

[Dos Equis]

Palin admitted to using drugs too.

When?  Source? 

[w8tlftr]

Palin admitted to using drugs too.

She has, what, five kids?

She's addicted to the hot beef injection.

[troponin]

Palin admitted to using drugs too.

She admitted inventing cancer too.

[JOHN MATRIX]

850 is ...wow...that is definitely in the retard range. it is abominable that she is a governor somewhere
