Anyone can get a 2400. I proved it.

<p>Thanks for your inspiring post, CrazyPluto. I also think that doing practice tests is the best way to increase one’s score, so I’m using that method right now. Just a couple of questions I want to ask:

  • Do you also review your right answers?
  • Is it any time you feel it impossible to get any higher? I mean, is it the same thing to break 2200 as to break 2300, or when you are at some certain level you just do tests after tests and your score will increase?
  • Just want to see whether I’m slow in my progress, how many tests had you taken when you broke 2100? 2200?
    Thank you!</p>

<p>If I were to spend the summer studying about half an hour to an hour each day, how far do you guys think it is possible to increase your grade. 100pts? 200pts? 300pts? etc. I haven’t taken the SAT yet, so I was just wondering…</p>

<p>I think you should first take a mock test to see how well you can do it right now, because it seems that low scores increase faster than high scores. If you’re at 1600s or 1700s, a 300pts increase after a summer is not impossible.</p>

<p>I just talked to a Harvard College Admissions Officer who told me that a score of 2400 is not always best to getting into a school of that caliber. In fact, it shows a persistence on a singular item such as a test that does not have relevance in the real world. Rather, Harvard, I was told, would rather see areas in which students could still improve as individuals. Just some advice I heard that I figured all you on CC would love to hear.</p>

<p>Congratulations on your dedication. Hope things go well for you</p>

<p>I would definitely agree on this point if we’re talking about retaking the test a few times to get the 2400 despite an initially high score, which could display some pettiness. But I think a first-shot 2400 tells a lot about the person - either they’re very dedicated or they’re brilliant and poised. My two cents</p>

<p>Thx man. It’s really helpful after such a shocking and discouraging day, for me. T.T </p>

<p>Anyone can, if they are persistent about their dreams…!!!</p>

<p>Congrats! </p>

<p>I didn’t well on writing. That’s a bit weird coz in my preparation writing was my strongest part. And although I thought I’d not do well on reading, I scored 800. Life is just full of surprises, isn’t it?</p>

<p>Or they are lucky. I think one with the same ability may get a 2200+ or a 2400, depends on how well one performs and if the test questions are within one’s familiar zone.</p>

<p>where did you get all the practice tests?</p>
