<p>If you have self prepped and took a SAT. What score did you get. describe your study routine.</p>
<p>If you are self prepping currently (probably for the new SAT), then what are you planning to do?</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>First time I got a 740m750v by taking a practice test. That was in March.
In December I got a good night's sleep and woke up early and decided on a whim to retake, standby. I got 780m760v. </p>
<p>YMMV</p>
<p>I just took the December SAT after self-prepping. I got a 1540 (780 M, 760 V). </p>
<p>I did about 8 practice SATs out of the Real Sat book over maybe 5 weeks. I also skimmed through the tips in the front of another prep book, Barron's I think. </p>
<p>I'm also going to study for the new SATs...but just for the writing section. I'm going to use the old SAT II Writing prep book by Kaplan and I also have a new SAT prep book but I'm not sure how good that is at prepping for the writing section.</p>
<p>My biggest suggestion is to double check EVERY math question since I caught about 10 errors when I went back on really simple stuff. For verbal, I think I just got lucky and knew most of the vocab.</p>
<p>Oh, and you'll probably do better on the real SATs than on a practice one since you don't try as hard (at least I don't) on the practice ones. I got around 1420-1480 on practices but 1540 on real.</p>
<p>Hopefully this helps...I'll check back if there is anything else I can tell you.</p>
<p>Haha Pygo we got the exact same score with the exact same breakdown.</p>
<p>One tip: READ EVERY QUESTION, NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK IT MIGHT SAY. This is how I missed my 800 on math.</p>
<p>Lol, yeah that's cool. </p>
<p>I don't know how I missed the 800 either. Probably on something really simple :(. Ah well I'm happy anyways. Got higher on verbal than I thought.</p>
<p>So_Delirious, your the type of guy with natural sat abilities. something i truely admire.</p>
<p>Self prepped and brought score from 1000 to 1400 (700M, 700V). For verbal, I just memorized barrons 3500 word list. For math it was just "natural" I did not study for it</p>
<p>Did nothing for it, no self-prep, got a 1530.</p>
<p>Usually it's intrisic knowledge.</p>
