For those of you who have taken it, what did you get? And did you take the old or new version...

Did you know at some universities they subtract 50 points off your SAT score if you're Asian, but add 230 if you're black? Meh...affirmative action.

I just took it last week. I'm not very confident about it either. I didn't finish my essay and I did terrible on math. English is my only hope.

I dunno, if they favor blacks like that, they probably also favor Hispanics. And it wouldn't surprise me if they subtracted from white people's scores, too.

No, it's not a rumor. It was a Princeton study. I tried to find the exact link but wasn't able to. They do add 180 points if you're Hispanic, but they don't subtract if you're white. It's a bit offensive that white people are the standard that everyone else is based off of.

Yeah... I guess it's the national majority... but still.
Do they add to Native Americans?

Say "other". As far as I know, they don't do anything to Native American scores.

XD It would be awesome to be Native American, though. I should start telling people I'm half-Native American, just for the hell of it
