Jokes on her...

I scored 1400, 760/640 in the 70s - and I knew I wasn’t College material.

I hated school.

Made the “almost Military” easy though...

NOt sure what the standard was in the 70s.

SAT perfect score in the 80s was 1600. 800 for each side.

Anything over 1000 was pretty much a given to get into college, even some out of the way schools would give you free rides if you managed 1000 and were willing to go to school in the middle of nowhere (wyoming, dakotas etc).

Sometime later they added an essay or something as well so I think the max score is now 2400 (but I could be wrong)

I knew one guy in our high school who pulled off 1560 and a 1540... took it twice... once of the smartest guys I knew... got a free ride to a great college... fell into the drug/party crowd once in school and was kicked out of school in less than a year.

Very much like my experience. My SAT split was nearly the same, 756/694 IIRC. I hated high school with a passion and teachers returned the favor, kicking me out of classes. Racking up that score was like giving them the finger. Sometimes you have to savor the small victories.

1400 was a very respectable score in the 1970s.
