When I was in high school in the stone age you could get into Rice with an SAT score in the 1200's. I think the average was around 1230. If you had a solid B average and a 1,000 SAT you were fine for A&M and UT. The state schools used to be easy to get in but not necessarily easy to STAY in.
I barely prepared for the SAT (got one of those big books at the bookstore and spent a few hours doing practice problems) and took it once and I was accepted to A&M and UT. Now my three kids are drilling with an SAT tutor starting 9 months ahead of the PSAT and then we have other consultants proofing their essays just to apply to mostly good state schools. One of mine is applying to UF but after seeing the latest SAT scores it seems low odds. I have no idea how a state school like UF has so many kids now scoring in the 1450-1550 range. That's overlapping into Ivy+ territory.

Says the tard from an open admissions school that sports tranny purple and gold. Notice nobody on here is wringing their hands over getting into LSU. Just stay sober enough to scrawl an X on your application and you're in.

When I was in high school in the stone age
I was pre stone age... mid 1970s
There were no "big books" to study for...
Here is how it worked....
Your junior year... you were supposed to sign up for the "college boards"...
So you asked what the "college boards" were.
They told you the SAT or the ACT... and they told you which one to take depending on where you wanted to go to college. We were an ACT state and I was going to go in state.
You took it once your junior year. Whatever you got... you got. You didn't take it twice. You sent it off to the schools you were considering. At OU back then you could probably get in with a 20 on the ACT if you had over a 3.0 GPA.
If you didn't do well on your one shot on the ACT/SAT... you just went to a regional state school... at least to start. If you had bad grades you went to JUCO.
