<p>How feasible should it be to go from a 1210 (630 CR, 580 M) to at least 1300? I took the SAT once my sophomore year and got an 1100, and now once my junior year with a 1210. I finished Algebra II/Trig. this year, when during my SAT, I didn't really have Trig. completed. Will Trig. help me for the math section? </p>
<p>Also, how far in advance should I start studying for the October SAT? I am going to start studying for the ACT soon to bring my 29 to a 30+. What do you guys recommend?</p>
<p>It could but honestly you don’t really need to know it. I’ve never used it on the SAT or PSAT and I’ve only missed one question combined, which was a proportions question lol. And btw the SAT has a writing section too
I’d say start studying mid-august</p>
<p>The sooner the better, lol.
Although the math rarely has any trig, it will help you alot with geometry problems.</p>
<p>A 30 ACT does not translate to a 1300 SAT. If there is that large of a score discrepancy, ditch the SAT and focus on the ACT.</p>
<p>^Actually, a 1300 is the equivalent of a 29-30 because he means M + CR. Assuming that the Writing is not that far off from the rest of the sections (close to 650) this should stay the same.</p>
<p>It’s definitely a feasible jump, because the math section isn’t too difficult to improve on. Just make sure that you take a lot of practice tests and go over all your mistakes so that you understand what you did wrong. Try to finish each section with at least 5 minutes to spare so that you can check your work, because that will help a lot too. I would also recommend starting to prep in mid-August, or take a prep class over the second half of the summer. Good luck!</p>
<p>Oh, oops. I thought he was referring to his composite score :P</p>
<p>It is definitely possible, my SAT score was 200 points higher than what my PSAT score predicted. I studied frantically with the blue a few weeks before my SAT test. I’m hoping that I can get 200 more points. </p>
<p>Best of Luck!</p>
