That explains his SAT 1317 score. The question is how he got into any of the schools with such low score. Remember he is genius.
1317 out of 1600 is pretty good.
Do you have a reference for Obama’s SAT scores? At the time he graduated it would have been the pre-adjusted score, so it was not a bad score. It certainly would not have got him into an Ivy League school without some other special consideration - athlete, musician, artist, legacy, AA, etc.
I didn’t know his SAT score is out there - where did you find it?
Wonder why it isn’t sealed along with everything else - maybe because it’s a decent score?
I hate defending this guy.....but—SAT scores were done differently back then. A 1300 would have been considered a good score. Certainly good enough to get into Occidental.
But, that is the only good thing I will say.
I guess I am defending my own 1200 from the same era. And I have scored at genius levels on IQ tests. I am such a disappointment to my mother.
How do we know that?
he never got 1317 on his SAT
Maybe 13 in math and 17 in reading
