<p>I’m not too particularly happy with my Critical Reading score, as I was in the 690-710 range on a practice test I took after prepping with the blue book. I swear, it was that one passage about the Asian family (no racial implications intentional), that one totally wrecked me.</p>
<p>I hate how in math a few questions you don’t know can drop your score SO much! I felt so good about it too. .-.</p>
<p>But WOOOOOO, WRITING!!! Wasn’t expecting that, but yay! My ACT essay from sophomore year was a 10, so I’m glad I was able to give it a little bump. I’m pretty sure this, and the 2110 above me, are roughly equivalent to 32’s on the ACT, which is what I’m aiming for. Yay!</p>
<p>Proly won’t be retaking this, as I want to have everything out of the way by the end of this year so that I can be all set for a summer scholarship program and senior year of college planning.</p>
<p>2380! I overstudied writing, I guess (600s in Jan)
M 780
Cr 800
W 800 (12 essay 80 MC)</p>
<p>I recommend retakers use 12 essay in 10 days and practice practice practice. I used mainly Princeton review and kaplan with snippets from the blue book 2nd edition during the last week! </p>
<p>Holy crap, 230 point improvement since Jan 28 2012 test (2150) It’s really possible to improve with ~3 weeks of self study!</p>
<p>to be fair, technically oxford’s requirement was at least 1400 for reading+writing and a 700 in writing. I got a 660 in writing. but still…
I just don’t want to retake it :/</p>
<p>I really don’t get how some of you guys with 2300+ are disappointed with your scores though. there’s a lot more on the college app. I don’t think there’s really any difference between a 2300 and 2400 in terms of admissions. at that point it comes down to everything else</p>
<p>@stressed
Yes, but some places (like my state) have competitions for the best SAT score in the school/county/region/state. So there IS quite a difference. And most people retake it for pride, etc.</p>
I’m pretty sure this, and the 2110 above me, are roughly equivalent to 32’s on the ACT, which is what I’m aiming for. Yay!</p>
