Sarah Palin’s Alleged SAT Scores Revealed!

[re=129366]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: My senior year was 2.2ish.

But, given the roughly 7 hours during the school day that I spent at the park alternately rolling doobies on the underside of a frisbee, and then throwing said frisbee (and smoking said doobie), I thought that gpa was pretty fucking miraculous.

The irony of her best subject being “biological science” – unless that means “unprotected sex” in Alaska.

for those of us not american: I understand this score is low but what is average and what is good?

[re=129401]Not_So_Much[/re]: The first two years of High School were pretty much the same way on this end as well, but Sarah was a MAVERICK BULL DOG anti-drug type who has probably never seen a Frisbee in her life. This is what makes it all the worse.

Looking at her, I always suspected Palin had 34 C’s. Perhaps even double D’s. But her transcripts confirmed my earlier suspicions.

She’s not a Veteran? Does McCain realize this? Is he willing to leave the country to someone so unqualified?

From Slate – http://www.slate.com/id/73787/

Bill Bradley, the thinking presidential candidate, scored a 485 verbal on his SAT? That’s lower than George W. Bush, the allegedly slow-witted presidential candidate. As reported recently in The New Yorker, Bush got an SAT verbal score of 566.

IF this were accurate, it actually makes Bush look like a genius.

[re=129380]Lazy Media[/re]: Haha! The idiocracy is upon us! 500 years my ass. Sarah Elizondo Mountain Dew Heath Palin will fix our our broken ecomony and make our crops grow because she gots what plants crave… she gots electrolytes. Hahahaha… ehhh…

…actually, I don’t think I’ll ever laugh at that movie again.

The test is designed so that 1000 is the median score (half score more, half less). 1200 is generally considered a good score, 800 not so much. Less than half the kids in America take this test; it’s intended for those going to college, so the median SAT score likely means being above average for all kids in America.

So, an 840 in 1982 means Sarah Palin was better academically, probably, than about 60 percent of the country. The downside is, do you want a vp who is dumber than 40 percent of the country?

However, SAT scores do not predict financial/career achievement all that well. I would imagine the average Wonkette score is > 1300, and look at these losers. I had a 1530 back when that meant something, and I’m a fuckup, so judge accordingly.

Funny SAT story… The second time I took it (I think you took it twice and kept the best result or something), I was finished first in the class. I took it up to the “proctor” or whatever, who was a Franciscan brother in training (not a full teacher, and yes this was when I was still a Catholic). He moronically told me I could take the question booklet home.

I arrived home, after a 45 minute subway ride, on a Saturday evening around 6pm and my mother greeted me with the news that the Principal had called multiple time, frantically and I had to get the question book back to school IMMEDIATELY.

There was a lot of finger pointing, and red faces, and it seemed as if it were some massive security breech that had been averted.

I really regretted not photocopying the freaking thing, but the library was closed and this was before the days of home photocopiers.

Unfortunately, it’s probably a fake. 574 is the SS area number for someone born in Alaska. The Lipstick Pig was born in Idaho. The scores do seem right though!

back then, we usually didnt get SS numbers till our teenage years or so. , not at birth, like now.

[re=129474]dave666[/re]: I am pretty sure Area # is the office APPLIED in, not born in.

[re=129452]Robbertjan[/re]: I knew people who got 400s, but they were illiterate or took it on acid.

[re=129467]Lazy Media[/re]: the percentile shown on the score card is 39%.

One way to check for authenticity,……………………. Does the percentile actually correspond with the score?

The Soc Sec number is correct. Politico.com had these same 5 digits on their site last month. It had been obtained from some ‘opposition research’ file put together for Palin.

Don’t all SAT scores end in 0? Or is that something that only came into play in the past decade or something?

Regardless if this is fake or not, this lady is fucking dumb.

[re=129297]Gopherit v2.0[/re]: (Rim shot.)

The right is so anxious to read Obama’s thesis. I want to ready Palin’s Television Journalism 101 paper – “Bangs or No Bangs? The Impact of Hair in Modern Journalism”

She was slightly below average in verbal, 35 vs nat’l ave of 39, but she was much below average in Math, 31 vs 38 nat’l ave.
She is definitely a c minus student.

[re=129413]Robbertjan[/re]: Because you’re not an American, I must believe that you therefore wish to destroy our freedoms (e.g.: the freedom to become a beggar and to drink rainwater from the streets) and thus I should not communicate with you.

Nonetheless:

[re=129422]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Strictly speaking, in Wasilla you can’t be considered a ‘verteran’ until you’ve turned your 50th trick.

Do you really report your grades like that? I don’t remember that being an option. From what I’ve heard she received decent grades, so I’m leaning toward FAKE! I wouldn’t be surprised though if she did bomb the SAT. If only race baiting was on the test…

P.S.- I love the people who are reporting their SAT scores here. How long does it take you to drop the alma mater in a conversation?

[re=129380]Lazy Media[/re]: GO ‘WAY. ‘BATIN.

[re=129270]WikipediaBrown[/re]:

. . .actually I don’t think so. 574 (like mine) just means you were issued one in AK. This looks bonafide to me, if the Palin “Truth Squad/Gestapo” doesn’t respond to it in 48 hours I say its genuine.

[re=129441]ProgHead777[/re]: I have written a few comments (and replies) with references to Idiocracy. I propose the formation of a caucus that will seek to elevate the profile of this cultural touchstone within the Wonkette community.

I am now convinced that Idiocracy is not a movie but a docudrama.

Long live president Camacho!

Likely a forgery. But it’s worth noting that these scores are in line with average scores for her first college (Hawaii Pacific). http://www.collegeprofiles.com/hawaiipacific.htm. Assuming these aren’t real, I doubt the real ones are much better, if at all.

Oops. That’s html, not htm.

[re=129385]grendel[/re]: Haha. Another victim of the “Test For Academic Precocity”.

It’s obviously a fake since Ethnic group says “White” instead of “White Trash”. Duh.

[re=129737]somervillain[/re]: Nope. I took the SAT. Almost all my classmates took the SAT. In Anchorage (1980). The only kids who took the ACT were the ones who wanted to go to Midwest schools (that is, to go back to the Old Country: Wisconsin and Minnesota).

[re=129737]somervillain[/re]: “Way too dark, also.” Heh. Is that an Obama joke?

Actually Gormogon, since they raised the total points of the SAT to 2400 (from 1600)in 2005, I think your claim that she would have 1200 hurts your cause.

A 1200 is roughly the equivalent of an 800 when she took it.

Ok this is most definitely fake, although probably comes pretty close to the real thing. I’m in my 20s, so I don’t know if things were different when Palin was in high school, but SAT scores are always rounded to the tens place, so it would be impossible to receive a 425 verbal and 416 math…correct me if I’m wrong.

Wow, what a bunch of gullible, easily persaudable, will believe anything that feeds your prejudices, spoon fed the storyline created by the media, pudding for brains people post here.

Uhmm…Nestegg it’s fake, provenly fake, no question about it fake. Don’t believe what you read here or anywhere else that posted this without doing plenty of your own research because obviously these people don’t do any, and yes plenty of people including her past teachers say she’s smart. She was an honor student. It’s just the media storyline to say she’s not, just as they have done to others. If you just believe the media you’d have thought Kerry was smarter than Bush, which is not true if you actually go find out. They think the only smart people there are went to Ivy League schools and the rest of America is idiots. Stop being so easily manipulated and lead…Break into her email to find nothing incriminating, post fake sat scores, but follow the storyline set for her from the start even if you have to lie to do it.

And could one of you geniuses explain how being an honor student equates with “probably dumb”? Or do you just assume that middle-class people who do declasse things like hunt and fish must be Neanderthals?

Dumbass. Unethical F*cktard. You want so badly for your biases to be true that you don’t really give a crap about truth, justice, ethics, fairness, or journalistic standards. You try to show that Palin is stupid, but reveal your own lack of intellect. Did you take the SAT’s? Did you think it was just a coincidink that you and all your friends had grades that were multiples of 10? You are so sure of the superiority of your ideas that you think all your opponents are stupid. Well, look in the mirror, schmuck.
