<p>Anyone with significant SAT retake improvements...post here!! Also, state any study plans you had while preparing for the retake. Post which books you used if possible.</p>
<p>I need some encouragement as I only got a 2060 the first time in May (660CR 670M 730W) and I'll be retaking it in October and I'm aiming for around a 200 points increase!</p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>
<p>i don't know if my results are really applicable to your request since they're in a different range, but here are mine:</p>
<p>March SAT:
570 CR
550 Math
620 Writing</p>
<p>June SAT:
620 CR
710 Math
720 Writing</p>
<p>all i did other than school work was take 8 practice tests, 5 from blue book and 3 from collegeboard's online course.</p>
<p>if you're interested, i plan on doing some of each of barron's 2400, princeton review, blue book, and cb online course through september to get 2200+ on the october test.</p>
<p>Thanks aldeswari, that helps a lot. It makes me believe that going up so much is possible! I really admire the amount you went up with the Math section!</p>
<p>I improved from 1860 to 2040.</p>
<p>I improved from an 1860 to a 2110</p>
<p>Jan: M 670 CR 600 W 590</p>
<p>May: M 770 CR 640 W 700</p>
<p>I improved by 150 points in Writing. Changing my 1950 to a 2100. (2110 superscore)</p>
<p>March:
620 CR
760 M
570 W</p>
<p>May:
630 CR
750 M
720 W</p>
<p>I just went over grammar rules a lot. Now I'm thinking about retaking to get my CR up...I don't know if I should.</p>
<p>^^ It depends on which schools you want to apply to. taking the SATs three times is okay. If you think you definitely can get CR up, then take it.</p>
<p>January-
700 CR
660 M
650 W</p>
<p>June-
680 CR
720 M
760 W</p>
<p>2010 -> 2160
I took one practice test between the tests; a 200 pt increase with studying should definitely be possible.</p>
<p>I went up 190 points
2120 --> 2310</p>
<p>ooh nice! if you don't mind, can you please post the specific breakdown? thanks!</p>
<p>1800 or so -> 2390</p>
<p>wow, that's insane!! Did you study liek crazy for the second time?</p>
<p>Is the collegeboard online course actually useful?</p>
<p>Wow, reading all this is really encouraging...</p>
<p>I went down by 90 points my second time around, so I'll unfortunately need to take it third time. :(</p>
<p>That's what im scared of happening =(</p>
<p>Get the blue book, it's actually amazing...my score went from a 2140 to 2300 just by doing tests in that (and a couple in the princeton book). THE BLUE BOOK WORKS WONDERS! :) :) :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I got a 2060 using just the Blue Book and I already took all the practice tests it has =( any other suggestions?</p>
<p>IDK, you could try using another company's review book such as the princeton review...but I thought those tests were REALLY hard.</p>
<p>My S went from:
Nov 06
CR 700
M 550
W 720
Total: 1970</p>
<p>Jun
CR 760
M 660
W 740
Total: 2160</p>
<p>He did practice tests in the Blue Book. Also, he had taken Testmasters previously, and he went back and reviewed his Testmasters book. In addition, in math (his weakest subject), he looked up all his wrong answers on the practice tests and figured out how to do those problems correctly.</p>
<p>Oops! Sorry...S didn't use the blue book. He used "10 Real SAT's" (a red book)</p>
