Question
What was Dylan's SAT score the final (third time he took them)?  The first time Dylan took his SATs, he didn't get to finish them b/c Brenda was in the hospital. The second time was when he took them out of town and was accused of cheating. He just recently took them for the third time (he was studying for them during ditch day), so what was his score the third time? Jim Walsh had said that he raised his score by 300 points, but that was from the first to the second test, so how much did he improve from the second to the third test, that is my question! What was his score this final time? Did they ever mention it?  I know he got around 1500 the second time he took them (the first time was when Brenda was in the hospital), but what did he get this time around? I remember Kelly saying that he didn't get into Berkeley when she was telling everyone about their summer, but did she mention his score? I am curious to see what he got after he was accused of cheating. THANKS!!!

Answer
Hello Sarah,

Actually, Dylan saying that he didn't get to finish the SATs the first time because Brenda was in the hospital was a continuity error. Brandon left early, Dylan had no plans to take them at that time. Dylan did not take the SATs for the first time until he took them out of town after visiting his dad in jail (his senior year of high school). Dylan only took the SATs TWICE. I think Dylan got a perfect score the second time he took the test (which at the time he took the test, highest score would be 1600). Actually, if my memory is correct, he got a perfect score the first time as well. Supposedly, he may have forgotten to put his name on the test leading him to be accused of cheating. Therefore, Jim saying Dylan raised his score 300 points would be another continuity error.

Hope this answers your question,
