I heard that if LeBron were to have gone to college instead of the NBA he would have been forced to choose a school in the state of Ohio because his test scores prohibited him from playing at non Ohio schools. Not sure whether it's true or not. Anyone have any info this ?

He probably got someone to take it for him like Derrick Rose did.

I doubt he took it

Google

Quick Google search claims he scored 870. I tried to find Wade's but couldn't. Kobe scored 1080 for reference.

870? damn that's terrible.

You get 400 points for filling it out correctly. wtf.

Also with the way it is graded, at least the way it was graded 3 years ago when I took it, you get negative points for incorrect answers. It's the one test where it isn't a good idea to guess the questions that you don' t know. You get a question wrong, you lose a quarter of a point.

It was that way 12 years ago also, I tutor sat testing and the general practice is you only guess if u can positively eliminate two answer choices

Yeah, but Kobe hogged all the no.2 pencils while Lebron shared his with his classmates.

InB4 people brag about their SAT scores.

if Lebron wanted to go to a college, they would have made it work. See Memphis and Derek Rose

And of course, Wilt had 1600. But it was against white guys

Who cares? I'm sure he would've done just fine at Ohio State / Cincinnati. Akron would've been cool just for kicks.

Better than KG iirc
KObe is slight above average, I think average was always 1000-1020

But Lebron most likely decided against college because of the the thought of illegally recruiting practices surrounding him. He or his mom got a pimped out H2

ITT: people who think SAT scores = intelligence level

He probably didn't even take it. If he did, he sure as hell didn't study or even give a ****. He was destined for the NBA as a junior.

I'm pretty sure the 870 that's being quoted in this thread was taken from wiki.answers which shows up at the top when you google Lebron sat score. Wiki.answers is not the same as Wikipedia. I honestly don't even think he scored that high.

From what I understand LeBron had very good grades in school. Not so sure about the SAT, but then how would anyone know unless he told them?

that kind of information is usually publicized for star recruits.
