<p>For those of you out there who got a score of 2300 or more on the SAT, how many practice tests did you through and at what rate did you do so per day/week/month? And which ones did you do (i.e. Collegeboard, Princeton Review)? Apparently, having talked to someone recently who received a 2400, the more tests you do the better your score will be ; ie 85 = 2400, with practice tests from different sources even those that are not from Collegeboard. Is this true? I find this correlation weird because Collegeboard doesn't even release that many tests which is the only pure format of the SAT.</p>
<p>I did roughly 2 practice tests a week in the month leading up to the SAT. I say roughly because I picked specific sections to work on, i.e. didn’t bother studying essays or math, mostly did sentence completion/writing. I scored a 2330.</p>
<p>It was a while ago but… lots. I definitely finished all the ones in the Collegeboard blue book along with a few Barron and Gruber ones. Since I actually enjoyed working on some of the SAT problems, especially the CR passages and their corresponding questions (I know, I’m particularly weird that way), it really wasn’t that bad at all. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Depends on the time period and my mood of the day. Sometimes I didn’t work on anything SAT-related for weeks at a time, while other times I went through one/two practice test(s) a day.</p>
<p>I only used one practice test, and that was just to gauge the average difficulty of the actual questions. My first attempt was a 2270, but I passed 2300 on my retake once I was familiar with it. As long as you understand core concepts, work quickly, read quickly, and write quickly, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I think that first of all you must read and work on theory. And then you may take Practice Tests. If U have no time you may do only P.T, but it will impove only you speed of doing questions, you won’t learn something new, you should review mistakes to gather something better, but it’s better to learn all theory and make sure that you know every fact, every detail, and then take P.T.
Thanks.

<p>I did about 15 tests over 1 month. Scored 2380. I agree with the above poster that you do need to learn the theory beforehand.</p>
<p>I did around 16 or so tests in a little less than a month for June. Practice def helps. Scored 2320.</p>

did you guys use Grammatix?</p>
<p>None. 10ch</p>
<p>I read theory and did some Question-of-the-Day’s and the practice questions (about 8 each in each section) on Collegeboard. No practice tests.</p>
<p>I mean I guess practice tests help you most in the passage-based questions because your brain will be trained to read the passages a certain way and answer the questions more effectively, but that could be done via pure theory->critical analysis of literature in English class (although that wasn’t too fun either).</p>
<p>Where can I buy GRAMMATIX?</p>
<p>
What, exactly, does this mean? Like, what’s the “theory?”</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Concepts, perhaps?</p>
<p>I agree with simo14,
he is right.For math you need review formulas, tips, strategies and etc.For CR go throw vocabulary and for WR- review major rules.</p>
<p>the theory is basically all the other content in the sat study guides 
It’s easier to explain maths, because you have to know like trigonometry, so they are saying that before you tackle those trig questions you might want to revise it for a bit.
For CR ex. study common mistakes that people often make like: is it ‘Carol and I…’ or ‘Carol and me…’?
That sort of thing</p>
<p>Well, this is very individual concepts, it doesn’t exist one general rule.</p>
<p>I think I did about 6 Practice Tests the 2 weeks leading up to test day. 1 during the week and 2 on wknds.</p>
<p>If you did multiple practice tests, did your score improve as you move to the next practice test? If you got 2100 on the first practice test, you get 2150 on the second one for example?</p>
<p>Oddly, my scores stayed stagnant for a few and actually showed a downward trend as I went. I figure I was tripping up on various aspects of the test each time so that when I did the real SAT, I had all my bases covered even tho the tests made it seem otherwise.</p>
<p>^ what did you get on the SAT and what was the breakdown of each section?</p>
