I don't believe what Snoops said about Sarah Palin's SAT scores

The only reasons they give as proof that this is a forged document is that it doesn't jive with her Honor Roll membership and some woman named Dawn Eden said she posted it and said it was, "made by someone who stole my own scoresheet off my blog and pasted in bad grades."

That would mean that everyone else's scoresheet is a forgery except hers because they all look alike. Did they contact the people who administer the tests to see if it was in their records? The test scores are kept because when you are applying to colleges or just want copies you have to have them send it to the college or they send you a closed copy and if you open it then the receiver would know that you could have forged it somehow.

Here is part of a post from Google answers:

In order to receive SAT scores from test dates more than 1 year ago,
you will need to contact the College Board SAT Services.

If you know the month and year that you took the test, you can place
an order for an archival score request by phone using the automated
phone system at 800-728-7267. You will need your Social Security
Number and a credit card.

If you do not know the month and year that you took the test, you can
place an order by calling 609-771-7600. Enter 0 to bypass the menu
and speak to an operator. You will need to provide the operator with
your Social Security Number, approximately when you took the test
(i.e. 1980-82), where you took the test, name of school, and whatever
information that you can provide that will help locate your scores.
You will need a credit card to pay.

The costs are as follows:

$20 + $6.50 per place that they are sent
Results will be mailed in 3 – 4 weeks

If you do not have a credit card, you can place the order by mail.

Mail a check for the appropriate amount, as listed above, to:

SAT Correspondence Department
Attn: Archival Request
SAT Customer Processing Center
P.O. Box 6201
Princeton, NJ 08541

So the information can be easily verified by here but snoops relies on one comment from a blogger that doesn't make sense to begin with.

Plus Snoops has a link to a "spurious background report" about Palin that goes to nowhere.

I think Snoops need to be snooped on this one.

1. i read the snopes comment last night. told kids discredited, BUT, not sure about it. i agree with

you

didnt convince me. didnt not convince me either.

[postulater]

2. They probably combined her score with Todd's.

He's the brain isn't he?

[SmileyRose]

3. I believe Snopes on this one.

Only because I don't think Sarah Palin is even that smart.

But I'm willing to stand corrected.

4. OBSESS ON PALIN, OBSESS ON PALIN!

Let's keep her pumped up and propped up, despite the polls showing that if she were in the race, sixty three percent of the electorate wouldn't vote for her.

Please, give it, and her, a rest. Ignore her and she will go away. She is no threat for the WH, and all you are doing with this obsessing attention is prolonging her fifteen minutes of fame. As they say, any publicity is good publicity.

5. OBSESS ON SNOOPS! I always trusted that source. Now I don't.

6. This is the second thread about Palin's SAT scores you've go up on the current board,

Your second in twelve hours. It is getting tiresome, and it's counterproductive.

[Maraya1969]

15. So change threads! There are plenty of threads on this board that I don't care for.

I don't begrudge a person for starting them. I just don't read them.

9. OBSESS ON SPELLING. You've written "Snoops" twice now. It's Snopes.

If you want to be an expert on spotting tell-tale details in online documents, actually paying attention to details would enhance your arguments.

This, for the record, is "Snoops"

this too

[Bucky]

7. Let me get this straight. The person test scores belong to fessed up & you still think it's Palin's?

That's a little silly.

[Maraya1969]

11. NO. She said they pasted in bad grades.

Heck "they" could take Joe Blows' scores and use it as a template for hers. This woman strangely thinks they used her SAT scores as a template that they could get from anyone or anywhere. She sounds more paranoid than anything.

[Bucky]

12. I think you need to let it go.

There's real things in the world far more worth your worries.

[Maraya1969]

14. Do you ever feel like doing puzzles? I do.

[Snoutport]

8. She had a B average in 8th grade...I went to jr high with her and have the

clippings from the Wasilla paper. (the honor roll was always announced with the B students at the end--a B average was pretty good for Wasilla)

[provis99]

17. that doesn't say much for Wasilla.

Meth capital of Alaska.

10. Why, in the results supposedly from Palin, are some harmless bits erased?

Such as the zip code of the high school? That would be completely harmless to post. But they didn't - because someone would have been able to check it? Or 'State and County of legal residence'? No need, for anyone's privacy, to erase that. But they have - again, I suspect they couldn't be bothered to look up the correct code for Palin's area before doing the photoshop.

Nah, Palin is as thick as pig shit, but we know that because of what she says as an adult, not a poor report card.

[HipChick]

13. Who cares? It's not as though she appears to have learnt anything...except winking..and grifting

[no_hypocrisy]

16. They must be bogus. Scores are way too high for her aptitude.
