I took mine March 16, 2002. I passed the Math easily, but I failed the English. And honestly, my college never asked me for my SAT scores. Never.

yeah.... colleges really don't look at SATs/ACTs. i mean they do, but it's not a big part of being accepted. my friend got a 28 on her ACT's... but her grades weren't so great, so she was put on the waiting list to the college she wanted to go to. they look at what classes you're taking, the grades you're getting in them, and maybe class rank. but then again, class rank doesn't really matter because some people could be taking hella easy classes and acing them... while others taking hard classes, such as AP (advanced placement) classes and getting ok grades... obviously, the person taking easy classes would have a higher rank, but, they aren't taking challenging classes... so, colleges might not accept the ones with a higher rank. but meh... that doesn't mean you shouldn't try hard on your SATs/ACTs...
yea... the college i'm going to only requires international students to take SATs/ACTs.... but they only look at the english parts. you have to get atleast a 17 on the ACT's.... 17!!! that's below average...
