"Only"? Hell, I got a 1220 on my SAT and I was and am pretty durn proud of that. Also keep in mind that when the tests were redesigned a few years ago, the average score went up about 200 points from what I've heard. So all the kiddies in one of the other threads who were patting themselves on the back for their 1400s and 1500s would have probably scored a lot closer to what Mr Bush and I did on the older style test I took. I don't know much about the statistics, but I daresay that when Bush took the SAT, 1220 was stastically a much better score than it is today.
