<p>(I'm sorry if you noticed this is a duplicate thread - I posted the first one in the wrong section)</p>
<p>Can we try to get the number of CC members who achieved perfect 2400 scores on the May 2009 examination? I would be interested to know that number.</p>
<p>I'll start: me!</p>
<p>By the way, I really didn't mean to create this thread simply to boast.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>You wouldn’t have made this thread if you didn’t get perfect score yourself. This is the 3rd post I’ve seen with your score on it.</p>
<p>Congrats… but it’s time to move on.</p>
<p>lol @ questionmark…but I can understand why people such as soadquake would be elated, I certainly would be too if I received a perfect SAT score!</p>
<p>haha but I think this thread would be better if at least all you outrageously good SAT test takers would share exactly what you did to prep (flash cards, practice tests like crazy, reading newspapers…etc.?) for the test as well as the essay. It might help those who are going be retaking the test and strive to achieve what you 2400ers have already achieved!</p>
<p>and also if anyone here got a 12 on the essay, what was your layout/method? i don’t really like what my sat prep teacher gave us (an intro, one literature example, one historical, and conclusion…)</p>
<p>“Can we try to get the number of CC members who achieved perfect 2400 scores on the May 2009 examination? I would be interested to know that number.”</p>
<p>Nice excuse.</p>
<p>@snargaluff - I would be more than happy to help out! I have a really good resource for the essay: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/645763-how-write-12-essay-just-10-days.html?highlight=academichacker+essay[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/645763-how-write-12-essay-just-10-days.html?highlight=academichacker+essay</a></p>
<p>I used that guide, and it was amazing. Absolutely perfect. It’s so simple, but it will definitely help push your essay score into the double digits.</p>
<p>Good call The Government</p>
<p>I’d say your probably the only one that got a 2400 on May. That test was way too easy I heard…really unfair for those that didn’t take it.</p>
<p>“I’d say your probably the only one that got a 2400 on May. That test was way too easy I heard…really unfair for those that didn’t take it.”</p>
<p>Please tell me this is sarcasm. Especially the easy part</p>
<p>@scholarapactsat - I’ve definitely seen at least 3-4 other May 2009 2400’s around the site.</p>
<p>Seriously, guys, I’m not joking around here. I would love to give advice! Just let me know which topic :)</p>
<p>i got a 2400 as well- this was my second time retaking and i improved from a first time 2230, 223 and 225 PSAT. my advice is to get rocketreview and do enough problems to grasp how exactly test questions are written…by acquainting myself with the little tricks and quirks in wording that the testwriters use to trip students up, i improved a lot more than just doing the questions mindlessly.</p>
<p>and during the test, i was so intensely concentrating on each question-- this helps a lot a lot in math because the math section is not actually hard-- just really conducive to careless mistakes.</p>
<p>the sat is kind of dumb, but if you look at as a game where you build strategies it doesnt hurt at all to play along with it and eventually master it…ok that sounds really toolish, but hey, what are ya gonna do…</p>
<p>fire every single person on this site saw their scores increase with this test…tell me thats not a coincidence.</p>
<p>No offence, but if you bookmarked this thread and are checking it now and then…idk for what</p>
<p>thats kind of funny</p>
<p>and how did u guys no what platitititiudininous means <- i know thats spelt wrong</p>
<h2>fire every single person on this site saw their scores increase with this test…tell me thats not a coincidence. </h2>
<p>This was my lowest test…</p>
<p>2200 to barely 2100…</p>
<p>I meant a large majority not everyone…and fire im on this forum…i dont have this thread bookmarked…</p>
<p>idk i thought the cr was really hard but everything else was ok</p>
<p>@frzfire129 - I think the the answer choice with “platitudinous” was the only one that wasn’t completely ridiculous.</p>
<p>^lol i suck at vocab -_-</p>
<p>
platitudinous > “like a platitude”</p>
<p>I’ve never seen that word before (took the test in March, did not retake), but it seems kind of obvious.</p>
<p>

<p>That actually sounds like a pretty good layout to me. I don’t think the type of examples is that important, but I think four paragraphs is the way to go. Really, though, the format doesn’t matter nearly as much as what you write. People get 12s with anywhere from 3-5 paragraphs and all kinds of examples.</p>
<p>In regards to essays - use the guide I posted earlier!</p>
<p>You don’t have to have specific types of examples. I used two history examples and one current research example, and I got a 12. The important thing is to have 3 examples - it’s a nice, round, appealing number.</p>
