<p>My last chance as well…aimiing for 2200-2300
good luck to everyone, im sure you’ll all do fine</p>

<p>Holy shiitake! D: Texas test centers are rescheduling?! </p>

<p>I’m more nervous then Timmy Tremblechin at the dentist. It’s my first time! My scores have fantastically ranged from 1980-2200. So I’m hoping for the best!</p>

<p>I wish silverturtle was taking my SAT for me</p>

<p>lol jan and march</p>

<p>obviously juniors</p>

<p>im confident i can get a 800 in math
maybe 780 in writing (given a 10 essay)
and at least a 750 in CR</p>

<p>that would be a dramatic amp-up from my previous outing
690-750-750</p>

<p>CR-M-W</p>

<p>but if i spent like
10 more seconds on each of the 2 questions i got wrong in M and W, i would’ve gotten 800 on both
or 780 with a 10 essay lol</p>

<p>CR
w/e goes man haha</p>

<p>Good luck folks. First-timer here (unless you count the times I took it for CTY…bleh).</p>

<p>I should probably be getting to bed soon…:P</p>

<p>How can one improve there critical reading the night before?</p>

<p>I’ve given up on writing. It is hopeless. My math section is unpredictable, sometimes I miss none other times three, other times eight. I give up haha. So critical reading though? Any tips?</p>

<p>“I wish silverturtle was taking my SAT for me”</p>

<p>Ha ha. :)</p>

<p>Wowie, just completely give yourself in to the passages; become enthralled by the content. Stay analytical and don’t settle for answers that seem close to the passsage. Each answer has to feel irrefutably apt.</p>

<p>I typically scan the questions very quickly before reading the passages and mark the lines that are referenced in the questions. When I get to a line that’s marked, I go to the respective question and scan it before I read the line. </p>

<p>If there is a chunk of text that isn’t marked, I skip it. I only go back if there is a general question that might require the synthesis of parts that include the area I skipped. Sometimes, these negligible sections of the text are rather large in size, and you can save a lot of time that way.</p>

<p>Thanks turtle :)! I can’t seem to master both the completion or the reading passages. On the BB book that I’m working on right now, I’m getting all the vocabulary right and a few of the passages wrong or vice versa. I’m hoping I can get a 700 in the 3 sections, but I doubt it!</p>

<p>Are you taking it tomorrow?</p>

<p>No, I am waiting until January.</p>

<p>silverturtle, can you give me any tips on writing? i took the nov test; got an 8 on essay and missed 5 / omitted 1 on mc for a total of 660… how can i improve this O_o</p>

<p>Done one hour ago in Mongolia.</p>

<p>done one hour ago in India.</p>

<p>i personally thought that the reading part was pretty difficult
experimental was reading</p>

<p>math was very easy compared to the practice tests in the CB blue book.</p>

<p>writing MC was also pretty easy</p>

<p>essay = two thumbs down :frowning:
i couldnt finish mine. only 1 and 1/4 of the pages were filled up. good intro. two strong examples, one weak. mediocre conclusion. hopefully i get at least an 8 :)</p>

<p>can someone tell me if it is possible to get an 750+ in writing if essay=8 and -1 or -2 on the MC?</p>

<p>Done 3 hours ago in Hong Kong.</p>

<p>Writing - Very easy, and that I made a correct guess about the essay topic that I wrote an exact same piece of essay last night.</p>

<p>Math - Can it ever be difficult?</p>

<p>Critical Reading - I did bad in one section, but that section may not count towards my score. In that case, I guess I did average.</p>

<p>Now what’s painful - 17 days to wait before release of result.</p>

<p>Yep Math was little bit difficult more than ever. I didn’t answer some questions lol
Totally it was terrible.I am worring about scoring</p>

<p>Writing is relatively easy. I think the scales are going to be ridiculously difficult. Perhaps minus 1 raw score in writing=740 (with 10 in essay).
Same applies for maths. If one careless mistake was made then it will be 750 or something?</p>

<p>Done an hour ago in India.</p>

<p>Thank. Freaking. God.</p>

<p>Done 1 hr 40 mins ago in New Delhi, India!!!
Maths was really easy, am hoping for an 800, but CR… uggh…
Just hoping that the novels passage CR section was equating!!</p>

<p>ALSO RESULTS WILL BE OUT ON 22nd DECEMBER!!!</p>

<p>Ugh! How did you all find the essy :[</p>
