I am doing a project in school about how the amount of time studying affects grades. Since I’m currently interested in SAT’s, I’m curious about if there is a correlation between time spent studying for SAT’s and scores. Therefore, it would be great if anyone could post the rough number of hours they spent studying and their SAT scores! Thanks!
Example:
35 hours of studying/ practice
2270 SAT composite
@wannabeBlueDevil I think that correlation is flawed. There will be people that take the SAT with zero studying and get a 2300 or 2400. And people that study for 50 hours to get a 2000. What you should be doing is comparing improvement of SAT scores after you’ve taken the first one. The first time you took the SAT you got a 2000, and after studying XXX hours, the second time you got a 2200. The first test is the benchmark of your intelligence and inherent test taking ability. The second one is improvement based on studying effort, which is what you are trying to measure.
2280 on first try after one practice test, 2300 after 2 full practice tests and about 5 hours of studying
2yrs scattered vocab, 3month intensive study 2350, then 1 practice test the night before and ss2400
