1020 SAT score? That's borderline retarded - Lori Loughlin Discussion

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Where does it say that?

reply

[–] Thrillhouse (1509) 5 years ago

The article I read said they paid the SAT company to add 400 points bumping it to 1420.

reply

[–] Underdog_73 (756) 5 years ago

The 1020 was the daughter's PSAT score.

reply

[–] Thrillhouse (1509) 5 years ago

PSAT is easier than the SAT.

reply

[–] Underdog_73 (756) 5 years ago

Maybe they are, maybe they're not. I don't remember. That's not the point. You claimed it was the SATs. The majority of kids today don't take the PSATs seriously. Even less so than the SATs. I'm sure she is a moron, since she had to cheat. Again though, not the point.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Ah, okay. I thought you were commenting in relation to Lori Loughlin's SAT score (not her daughter's). I was wondering how and why you knew that. LOL.

reply

[–] Thrillhouse (1509) 5 years ago

Intelligence is heritable.

reply

[–] TJLamb0518 (3316) 5 years ago

Or hereditary.

Your comment on intelligence is ironic given ...well, the unintelligent expression of your comment on intelligence.

In other words.....1020 is apparently a stretch goal for you.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Although not as commonly-used as 'hereditary', 'heritable' is a proper word and Thrillhouse has correctly used it in this context.

I know how tempting it is to call out Thrillhouse, especially when he's being so rude about someone else's intelligence, but in this instance the criticism doesn't hold.

reply

[–] TJLamb0518 (3316) 5 years ago

It's unwieldy and a vain attempt to seem more intelligent than the author is based on his past ramblings.

ANY criticism of him holds.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Perhaps, but fair is fair, especially when there are so many, many valid reasons to call out this poster's idiocy.

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

I think Noufa below just unlocked the cipher of why someone as demonstrably imbecilic as Thrillhouse might look down on a 1030 score.

He must have taken it when the max score had been raised to 2400 before it was recently dropped to 1600 again.

That would make MUCH more sense why TH would say a 1030 score is borderline retarded. A 1030 in his time would be equivalent to a sub 700 score in our day. That really is borderline developmentally disabled.

So if you're reading this Thrillhouse, a 1030 out of 1600 is almost 64% on today's SATs, which would be the equivalent of about 1545 out of 2400 when you took it. So don't worry because she's not actually dumber than you are, you've still got her beat by a long shot.

What do you mean by this?..."Taxpayers should a refund for the money we give these schools."

reply

[–] PimpFranklin (55) 5 years ago

I mean she went to school for 15 years and only got 1020. Her teachers should be fired.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

She didn't go to a private school?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

1020 would be average.
there's no shame in being average.
most people, by definition, are average.
i wish i was average in most ways!

for whatever it's worth, i fondly remember pining for lori loughlin back when she was on the soap opera 'edge of night.' she might have been my first celebrity crush.
maybe along with the blonde vocalist from the human league.

reply

[–] Noufa (378) 5 years ago

This is what I thought. Like a 100 IQ, it's totally average. The people who score higher are prone to brag & skew impressions of what's "normal".

reply

[–] Noufa (378) 5 years ago

Now that I think about it, maybe the OP isn't aware the that SAT moved away from the 2400 point scale back to the 1600. 1020 on the 2400 would be awful.

reply

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

Eureka I think you just deciphered the OP.

reply

[–] PimpFranklin (55) 5 years ago

IQ scores are relative. SAT scores are absolute.

reply

[–] PimpFranklin (55) 5 years ago

1020 is below average, especially for her demographic. There are huge demographic differences.

To put it in perspective, if you answer every question wrong, the minimum score is 800, and you'd expect to get at least 20% by guessing.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

fair point.
an article i found shows that the average sat score for u.s. whites was 1123, and for all groups the average was 1068.
that's one article, and i didn't verify it with any other sources.
but assuming it's correct, 1020 would be below somewhat below average.
though certainly it's not such a poor score that anyone ought to call her borderline retarded, as the op did.
it's almost certainly within one standard deviation of the mean.

reply

[–] Noufa (378) 5 years ago

There's also some self-selection in who takes the test. Teenagers usually don't burn off a Saturday unless they plan on attending college. That group already skews Asian/white & upper class.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

So, the people taking the SATs (including people with relatively low scores like Olivia Jade) tend to be smarter than the national average?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

that would be the conclusion i would make.
if the pool of people taking the sat are on average more intelligent than the general population, then a person with a slightly below average mark is almost certainly slightly more intelligent than average.

the sat presumably doesn't quite equate to iq, but it's likely safe to say that people who do well on the test are on average more intelligent that people who do less well.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Yeah, that makes sense, although it doesn't preclude the possibility of a real dummy choosing to take the test and failing miserably.

reply

[–] Keelai (31864) 5 years ago

Anyone can study for the SATs. If you study, you'll score higher. It has more to do with knowledge of academic subjects like math and reading, not intelligence.

Olivia Jade is a slacker and party girl. She doesn't have the ambition or desire for an Ivy League school. I would be curious to know what her grades were at USC, but that could be another scam considering that she was on the yacht of a USC official.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

oh absolutely, it's a test and you can study for a test.
on average, we can say that people who get higher marks will tend to have higher iqs when looking at groups.
but it doesn't tell us anything about a specific individual.

reply

[–] Keelai (31864) 5 years ago

The test isn't about IQ. For example, you'd score lower on the math portion of the test if you never learned algebra. That's about being familiar with the subject matter, not IQ.

When I took the SAT exam, its purpose was to determine how well a student would perform in college. After that proved false, they changed it to how well a student is prepared for college.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

it's not an iq test, no disputing that.
but it is the case that higher iq people will tend to do better. people with higher iqs are able to comprehend, take in new information more quickly & effectively, etc.
not only because of iq, but because other characteristics like diligence & self-restraint tend to correlate with iq.

not out to have an iq battle here.
i have already ceded that sats are not iq tests.
but on average, higher iq groups will score more highly on sats.

reply

[–] Keelai (31864) 5 years ago

Agreed, I just think IQ is overrated. Environment has a lot to do with it. For instance, the middle class tend to do better on SATs than the poor because they have more opportunities, exposure to better schools, better nutrition and study for those tests. Also, culture and parental influence plays into giving children the belief that they can succeed by studying and working hard. Lastly, there's motivation. I tend to do extremely well on written tests because I'll study for hours each day for months for a better future. Meanwhile, I knew people from my neighborhood who bragged about failing classes and dropping out of school because they had already given up.

BTW, I don't really believe Loughlin's kids are dumb, just not motivated. Perhaps Lori should have attended college herself instead of forcing her kids. It's never too late.

reply

[–] Noufa (378) 5 years ago

Maybe it's changed, but back in my day, they punished you for guessing. Missing 80% would more than cancel out the 20% you'd gain by guessing. My math teacher admonished us to never guess.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

i'm not american, & have only heard of the sat through movies, news, etc.

are the tests multiple choice?
mix of multiple choice & long answer?

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (14758) 5 years ago

I took mine in 96, and it was 2 sections. Verbal/written and Math. The verbal part was essay, multiple choice, reading comprehension, analogies etc. The math section was problem solving, pattern recognition, equations, and some other stuff I don't really remember because I bombed out on the math section, but nearly aced the verbal/written section.

Sadly, my score was horrid and I never retook it. I ended up dropping out of college. It ended up being the best decision I made, because debt-free life is so fucking sweet.

reply

[–] Borat (658) 5 years ago

college is for suckers. i dropped out of that garbage after 3 years. only wish i said fuck it and left earlier. started traveling the world after i quit with all the money i saved from dropping out. spend a lot less on that and learned a lot more from that than any bullshit school

reply

[–] Noufa (378) 5 years ago

There's something to this. Businesses once used aptitude tests in hiring. Federal bureacracies (like the military & post office) still do. But private sector employers got tired of fighting lawsuits over allegations of bias in the tests.

So businesses basically outsourced the whole thing to colleges. They started demanding a degree for jobs that really didn't require them. It shifted a significant financial burden on to young people & didn't solve the issue of bias, as this whole scandal has shown.

If you can get around this through networking, more power to you.

reply

[–] PimpFranklin (55) 5 years ago

Great post. These tech companies like Google and Apple were actually given waivers by the government so they don't have to comply with the civil rights acts. They require employees to take essentially IQ tests. That's how their workforce gets around being 99% white Asian and male. Your small business wouldn't be allowed to do that.

How would they punish for guessing?

reply

[–] Noufa (378) 5 years ago

Correct choice is +2 points, incorrect choice is -1, no choice is 0.

And incorrect choices were designed to look "correct" if you flubbed a step. So even an educated guess wasn't always wise.

99+: 1550-1600
99: 1500
97: 1450
94: 1400
91: 1350
87: 1300
81: 1250
74: 1200
67: 1150
58: 1100
49: 1050
39: 1000

1070 is about average, so anything above that would be an above-average score. A 1250 places you in the 81st percentile, that is, in the top fifth of test takers, which is very good. A 1350 puts you in the top 9%, making it a strong score. A 1400 is in the 94th percentile, the top 6% of all test takers. And any score 1500+ puts you in the coveted top 1%.

She was basically a slightly below average basic bitch.

Her daughter received a 1420 on her SAT test, which was 400 points higher than a PSAT taken a year earlier without the same administrator.

No, guys too. A dummy had his head placed over an athlete's body as part of his entrance application.

Ivy League schools don't want slightly above average. They want people who excel with high grades and SAT scores in the 94+ range.

reply

[–] PimpFranklin (55) 5 years ago

No they don't. Ivy League schools don't even require that you take the SAT anymore. The SAT has been systematically devalued over the years because no matter how they tweaked it, they couldn't get the right numbers for POCs and women.

The Ivy League wants "diversity", athletes, and rich people who will make donations. It doesn't take geniuses to author scientific studies about 57 genders and fat shaming.
