<p>Did you make a HUGE leap in your SAT score, like 1800 -> 2300, or something close? How did you do it, and how did you practice enough for it? Thanks.</p>
<p>well i went from 2040 to 2310...i just practiced a lot...soon enough, most of the problem types become predictable (especially for math). i know its been said over and over, but really, just by the big blue book by collegeboard and practice every single section. oh the vocab flipbook from kaplan doesnt hurt</p>
<p>what books did you guys use to cause your score to jump this much?</p>
<p>On my PSAT i had a 171 (1710) then on my SAT I had a 2100. Hopefully I'll make the same kind of leap again for next time. I just learned a bunch of new vocab and whatever math they didn't teach me in school. I think the barrons SAT prep books are nice, they are extra extra hard and will probably do the job for you.</p>
<p>I personally have only gotten scores for one test (I got an okay 2040), but I find, from speaking to people, that if you're a low scorer, it's not too difficult to make a significant leap on the order of a standard deviation or so...but when you're already scoring high, there's a chance that you may be at/near your ceiling. </p>
<p>Oh, and the age at which you take it makes a difference as well. For example, a 2000 as a sophomore has much more potential for increase than, say, a 2000 as a junior.</p>
<p>yes it was very odd that the collegeboard said my score would only jump 5 to 10 points, but it jumped over one hundred points after the second sitting....</p>
<p>I went from: 174 10th grade PSAT to 188 11th grade PSAT to 2000 SAT to 2190 SAT.</p>
<p>Just do all the sections in the blue book.</p>
