~50 Days until Jun SAT, enough time?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hello!
After taking the March SAT as a 'trial run' so to speak, I received a total score of 1510. Being ranked third in my Junior class with around a 4.5 GPA I expected to do very well on the test, but after discovering this board I am now completely humbled. I now know where I stand and how lacking that my school is (Enrollment of 220, Grades 7-12). Though, I do believe that I could have done much better on the test. I did not study at all to receive the 1510. </p>

<p>My question is...Do I have enough time to prepare for the June SAT? I believe there are around 50 days until the day of the test. I contemplated waiting until the fall date to have more time, but I believe that Senior AP coursework and summer jobs will get in the way of me preparing for it. </p>

<p>Is there enough time for me to increase a 1510 into the 1800s or even 1900s? A score in this range should be sufficient for me to get into the university that I'm looking at. I am planning on taking Pre-Med courses. Also, what would be a good strategy to prepare in this amount of time? </p>

<p>My scores were [CR:490/M:510/W:510] Essay: 7</p>

<p>Edit: I own the blue book and have read both the "12 Essay in 10 days" guide and am currently reading Silverturtle's SAT guide here on the forums.</p>

<p>Please throw in your two cents. All suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your input

<p>Yes if you have the willpower to practice, the humility to look over wrong problems/learn from mistakes/avoid silly mistakes often made due to arrogance, and enough spare time to take the tests from the BB. I wish you all the best in your efforts these ~50 days.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input, chewydog.
As an interesting side note, may I mention that I also reside in Western Pa! The colleges I am looking at are Pitt, IUP, Thiel, and SRU. You may be familiar with them.
Sorry, but I was intrigued that someone from my area is actually on here!</p>

<p>More than enough time, if you use it well. Realize that you don’t have much time to procrastinate, so whenever you have a chance, do a practice section.</p>

<p>You’re welcome! </p>

<p>In regards to your side note: That’s interesting to know :slight_smile: For the sake of remaining reputable on these forums (and seriously not getting banned by mods), I will refrain from inquiring further about you, but this is quite intriguing indeed! It’s always nice to know someone near you is also on the forums. I am familiar with Pitt and IUP, but not so much the latter two. I will be applying to Pitt next year.</p>
