<p>lol I also need to raise from 17xx to at least 2100. 400 points may be possible but rare. What I need to improve the most is CR. M and W I can get at least 600 each. I don't want my score to be lopsided.</p>
<p>i started from 1430 to high 20s to low 21's .
700 pts +
i started hard core prep for like 7-8 months now, so if u're just starting now,and u dont study really hard, sorry dude no miracle =l</p>
<p>holy crap Ren, hard core prep for 7-8 months? LOL dude..how do you not exhaust your supply of tests. I started prepping in July and I thought that was slightly early, because I deplete tests fast, so I've had to ration them. DAM nice dedication though, hope that pays off.</p>
<p>@poster, dude why did you post here?
lol</p>
<p>Well, to crush all weird repliers here, I got 1950 first time round, and 2300 next time... and the reason was first time I had no idea what the SAT was like, I just took one mock test, and never took the SAT seriously at that time; I even slept at 3 am the day before the SAT first time!</p>
<p>So listen to everyone's advice, but finally follow your self. You can do it.</p>
<p>I'm sorry quix. I forgot that 60x9=600. I guess I know why I failed my CR now. Silly me thinking that 60x10=600</p>
<p>And no, I didn't prepare extensively for the SAT the second time either but I took a few tests, better prepared for the enemy ;)</p>
<p>I've heard jumping up from 1700 or so to around 2250 is difficult, but completely doable. I'm kind of in the same boat as you, TC, but with a lower score (1690). I know my mistakes:</p>
<p>I didn't study.
I didn't take the test seriously.
I didn't know what to expect.
And probably several more excuses that will not be entertained by the 2200+ scorers on the board.</p>
<p>And I see the ramifications of my actions. With a little bit of prep, I could probably get in the 1800s. </p>
<p>You started with a 1760-next time, aim for a 1900. Perhaps you will do better, perhaps not. From there, you can work up to your desired score.</p>
<p>Good luck, and take solace in the fact that not everyone here is perfect (though it seems like nearly everyone is...), and know that working hard pays off, or so I hear.</p>

<p>This site is just amazing, I am an incoming junior, I've just been taking some practice tests lately and my scores range btw 1880-1920. I don't even think I'll be able to pull my score above a 2000 by the time i graduate. Taking the test for the first time in November, lets see what happens.</p>
<p>People on this site have really given me a lot of hope, I'd be ecstatic if I cross the 2100 barrier :(</p>
<p>seriously, Impossible is nothing</p>
<p>kyoko went fro 350 to 800 on CR which is unbelievable</p>
<p>I went from 500 to high 600s in CR which is also a relatively high increase</p>
<p>Don't let any ahole put you down. Put your mind to it and you can do anything.</p>
<p>Thanks for the positive replies. I'm surprised to see some positive feedback most of the time I mostly see negative.</p>
<p>shiomi, i spent like 2 months memorizing vocabs lol, then i started working on pr 11, barrons, and kaplans. that time i didn't know this cc community, so basically i was doing blind-studying. suprise i didn't used any cb materials lol.
so yeah in the summer i pwned bb, did cr and w 2 times, few more weeks left till oct, i still gotta redo onlne course writing section, and 10 rs math and cr, and 6 more qas,then im done.
yes!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait ><!</p>
<p>it may be possible if your english is not your first language, and you have been in America for only a few months.</p>
<p>Oh..I don't use anything that's not CB...</p>
<p>yeah i kinda did the same thing after i found this site lol. i never looked at pr barrons and kaplans again.</p>
<p>Yes I'm not native english speaker.</p>
<p>The first time I did a CR practice was in my freshman year. I can only get like the first two questions for sentence completion, and reading the passage doesn't seem to make a difference in answering the passage questions. To me, every choiced seemed right...</p>
<p>I memorized Kaplan vocab and then did their practice tests (mostly the PSAT then, I just did the SAT to see how much harder it is). I'm similar to Ren lol, I' never thought of doing official CB tests before I came to this website.</p>
<p>^, looks like you're walking the same path as i did lol.</p>
<p>last yr oct i took the sat, cr is like #$%^, all the choices look the same, lol, i thought i'll never beat this. but throughout the yr,i read few books, did vocabs, concentrate on writing MC, then i look at Cr again, its actually easier,i can elilminate alot of answers, then i did CR prep this summer, my score went up again xD
wait what?! u got 800 cr???
danggg, good job bro</p>
<p>I got a 169 PSAT soph year and 198 PSAT junior year</p>
<p>I got a 2140 on the real SAT first try junior year, and a 34 on the ACT first try.</p>
<p>My advice is to not make excuses and prepare earnestly from the start. That was largely my problem, as I rationalized to myself that I was smarter than the 169 without realizing that I truly hadn't done anything for the test. </p>
<p>Get to work and maybe you can improve to a 2250. Btw dont listen to all the A holes on this thread, I know a kid who started with a 1700 on a Kaplan test (yes dreaded Kaplan) and ultimately got a 1600/2340 on the real thing only a month afterward.</p>
<p>Rfern seems confused.</p>
<p>I don't have official 800's on SAT I's yet :)</p>
