Enough Time To Increase My Scores?

<p>On the October PSAT I scored a 1640/2400 which I know is very low. I'm a Junior just signed up for the June SAT. My ideal goal is a 2100/2400 on the SAT, do I have enough time to reach this goal by June? Thanks</p>

<p>did you have any one section where you scored particularly low? try and focus on improving your weak points, you'll find the largest magnitude of score improvement there. </p>

<p>with the time you have, if you do some intesive prepping w/ blue book + others, you should be above 2000 at least by june. try and take many practice tests, and remember to read the explanations so you actually learn from mistakes. good luck!</p>

<p>Yes, but you'll need to study very, very hard. </p>

<p>I went from 1800 to 2170, so you should know that it's not impossible. </p>

<p>When I first took the test, I didn't know the formulas for lines, circles, squares, common area stuff, graphing, functions, basic grammar, most words, etc. </p>

<p>but I studied hard and got up to speed. </p>

<p>Long story short: you can, but it'll take a lot of hard work (but it'll be worth it, you'll be a better mathematician and reader in light of it).</p>

<p>What were your scores on the individual sections</p>

<p>Scores: 65-Math, 50-Critical Reading, 49-Writing. I'm not worried about the Writing or Math, just CR. This was without any Prep. Thanks for the responses.</p>

<p>I think you can probably improve your scores a lot just by going through any SAT prep book, and a smart friend/teacher to explain stuff to you that you don't get.</p>

<p>A lot of the stuff on the SAT is really easy, it just helps to be familiar with it before taking the test.</p>

<p>Try using the blue</a> book and just read through the strategies, and take a practice test or two untimed.</p>

<p>Go through the questions and ask someone to explain to you the ones you didn't get. I think if you do this and devote yourself to getting a higher score, you'll be fine.</p>
