<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm a H.S. freshman who took the SAT in December. I got a 500 in maths, 550 in writing, and 620 in reading. I didn't finish parts of the math section or the essay, due to my inexperience with the test.</p>
<p>What will these scores most likely evolve into in the next three/two years?</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>Chill, you have tons and tons of time. There’s no way of predicting where your scores will go. Without even studying, you can expect your scores to improve by maybe 100 points or more just from what you will learn in school. If you study, then that could bump your score another couple hundred points. But don’t actually start studying too soon; wait until a few months before the real thing your junior year. Also, I don’t recommend taking any more “practice” tests your sophomore year, since colleges will see them.</p>
<p>thanks for you response. do you mean one hundred points overall, or each section? also, do colleges see this test? would you advise taking another practice later this year?</p>
<p>100 was just an arbitrary number that I threw out to represent how you will do better on future tests simply from what you will learn in the future; I am not guaranteeing or even suggesting that it will be a hundred points. And I mean on the whole test.</p>
<p>The way the SAT works is that what you learn in school will help-to a certain point. Once you get into pre-calc, school will have already taught what’s on the SAT. From that point on, you will have to self-study to improve your score.</p>
<p>Some colleges require you to send all scores, so yes, some colleges will see it. However, don’t worry about it; colleges will usually disregard your earlier score and not count it against you, since you took it freshman year.</p>
<p>Whatever you do, do not take any more “practice tests.” If you want to know how you’ll do, find some released tests and take them at home. There really is no point in taking anymore real, administered practice tests… Taking the actual SAT just to practice and not for real is, in my opinion, pointless.</p>
<p>In conclusion, I would just forget about the SAT until the summer before junior year at the earliest. Worrying about it or studying this early will not help. If you would like to, you can start reading novels or news magazines to improve your reading abilities, but this is not necessary.</p>
<p>Sorry for being rather blunt, but I hope this helps.</p>
<p>Yes. And you really don’t have to study right now. You will automatically get better by sophomore year</p>
