<p>I'm a junior and I got a 199 on the PSATs without studying. 63CR 72M 64W. I studied for 10-12 hours everyday over winter break and I'm getting at least 2100s on my SAT practice tests. I'm taking the test in a few weeks and I'm trying to get my score up to a 2250. I plan on doing a practice test every night until a couple of nights before the test. I jyst want to take it once and get it over with. On the weekends, I can spend around 10 hours each day just for SATs. I don't really get tired and I'm not the type of person that loses concentration or motivation. Do you guys think I can get that 2250? Here are my average scores from around 35 practice tests: 660 CR 760 M 740 W.
Let me know how I can improve my schedule or how I can improve my score.
Thank you in advance guys. :D</p>
<p>If you aren’t already doing so, do vocab everyday and try to use real SAT tests. Otherwise GL with our goals.</p>
<p>Thanks hagzzz.
I did all of the vocab in the blue book, but it doesn’t seem like enough. I used the blue book, sat booklets that my upperclassmen had hanging around, the Princeton Review’s 11 Tests, and some other real tests. They’re authentic. I’ve even gone as far as doing GRE tests. It’s ironic how I’m doing better on the GRE than the SAT. I am done around 800 words on the Sparknotes 1000 SAT Vocab Words List.</p>
<p>Can anyone else please respond?</p>
<p>I think you’re doing really well. It’s great that you’re so dedicated and hard-working! :D</p>
<p>I noticed that your writing and math sections are much better than your critical reading. Check out this guide: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/1024138-how-i-got-800-sat-critical-reading-story-guide.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/1024138-how-i-got-800-sat-critical-reading-story-guide.html</a></p>
<p>It really helped me in critical reading! I actually improved a lot by using this. </p>
<p>I’m sure you can reach your goal, just keep working hard! Study that vocabulary, and practice. That’s about all I can say. Best of luck to you! :)</p>
<p>It looks like your schedule is pretty solid to me! Just try to see if there’s a pattern to the questions you miss- and then figure out how to overcome those. Really focus on your mistakes to see why you’re missing them after you take each practice test, and then figure out how you can get those kinds of problems right the next time.</p>
<p>Good luck! <3 I think you’ll do wonderfully!</p>
<p>Thank you so much Bunnzies. I did look at the guide and it seems quite helpful. I’ll apply it the next time I take a test.</p>
<p>Thanks @Almondjoy7
After every test I write an explanation down for each question I got wrong. There is no particular pattern I see. I just notice that I get most of my questions wrong with sentence completions. There are so many words!
Anyway thanks so much for tge encouragement and response! :)</p>
