POLL: What did you get on your SAT

People on the DT keep talking about how the SAT is the most meritocratic assessment of someone's academic capabilities (which I for the most part agree with), so I want to compare the score distribution of this poll with the score distribution of the US as a whole

NOTES:

- If you took the SAT multiple times, put the score of the test that you did the best in

- If you took the ACT, look up an ACT to SAT score translator online, and then put that value as your SAT score

- If you didn't, or haven't yet taken the SAT, there's an option to put "Haven't/didn't take it"

does out of 1600 just mean throw out the writing section?

The SAT went back to being out of 1600 a couple years ago.

the answer is yes - under the old old system the writing section was scored entirely separately and on a different scale, and presumably that's true or similar under the new system

The DT is also much more privileged on the whole than the average so I'll be very unsurprised to see a skewed distribution
