<p>Since I was sick to death of staring at endless vocab words and math problems, I decided to share this story with you that I heard a few weeks ago! </p>
<p>A friend of my friend (no names will be revealed) got a perfect 2400 - in three seperate sittings. How did he accomplish this? First SAT, he studied like crazy JUST for the CR section - and did not fill out any of the sections OTHER than the CR sections, and basically napped during the math and writing parts to "reserve his energy" for the CR sections. He received an 800CR 200M 200W (or whatever the lowest score possible is for those sections). </p>
<p>SECOND SAT, he studied insanely, concentrating only on the MATH portion - and again, he only filled out the math sections during the exam, resting up between math sections and leaving writing/CR completely blank to receive a 200CR 800M 200W... </p>
<p>THIRD SAT, as the trend continues, he got a 800W 200M 200CR, for a total combined score of 2400. </p>
<p>Insanely stupid? Ingeniously clever? You decide! :P I'm pretty sure colleges will look at his scores in disbelief and think "Is this kid an idiot? Or EXTREMELY talented?" but yeah... lol. Just wanted to share while I was procrastinating :)</p>
<p>yeah its a pretty stupid idea, and like i mean, Cmon if he could pull off a 2400 is THREE stitings, What is to stop him from doing it in 1 sitting? or at least getting a 2300+ ..He could at LEAST fill in the math section lol..(if ur able to 800 that once then u should beable to at any time)</p>
<p>getting 200's in sections pis.s. off colleges a lot. his 2400 would probably be considered incredible, and it won't help your friend's chances at all.</p>
<p><em>blink, blink</em> Is this seriously a true story?</p>
<p>It's an interesting one, though. =) (Can't say I think he's stupid. I definitely haven't been able to pull off an 800 on <i>any</i> of the sections yet.)</p>
<p>They might also assume that he cheated...he could easily have spent more time on any given section than is allowed, and colleges will recognize that</p>
<p>His tests would likely have been flagged for extra scrutiny, considering the discrepencies between his scores at each exam. The colleges would definitely find his scores odd & I don't think many would favor him as a candidate. Would you favor him over someone who got 700+ on each section in one exam?</p>
<p>on the SATs. leaving the entire section blank doesn't give you 200, but instead 250-350. the only way you can get 200 is getting ~10 multiple choices wrong</p>
<p>what? stop assuming things, etti - as far as i'm concerned, YOU coming here and leaving that comment is completely unneccesary </p>
<p>this story is 100% viable - i've SEEN the kid's transcript and sat score sheet - and the scores WERE there. why the hell would i make up some story like that here? ...</p>
<p>don't you think it would be suspicious if you took the SAT three times? I thought the colleges asked for the dates of these tests. </p>
<p>score: 800M, date: 6/05 (just hypothetical numbers to bring my point across)
score: 800 CR, date: 7/05
score: 800W, date: 8/05</p>
<p>How do you think that looks to colleges? Will they pardon? Will they understand your "relationship" between the full moon of different months, which affect your knowledge of the sections of the SAT? </p>
<p>I still don't get the whole saving energy and focusing more on math or verbal each time or take the test. Stop whining and get the best score possible all at once.</p>
<p>first of all, they not only get that, but they also get the official score report form the college board , which tells the other scores on those dates. they would have pardoned if the scores were within reason, but they will be mad if they see 200's in scores in EACH test (if there's no apparent improvement, just shuffling of scores, they'll be very, very suspicious, and that will impact negatively on you)</p>
<p>USC & UC have no connection, other than both being in CA. Even schools that take the best out of all your sections would look long & hard at these very odd results, I would think. Very unorthodox.</p>
