<p>All the people who got perfect or near perfect scores, how did you study and prepare for the SAT, and what was most helpful in raising your scores?</p>
<p>I am wondering the same thing.</p>
<p>me too. there must be a systematic way of dealing with the test that consistently gives you a perfect score. there must be. there is no way to get a perfect score by just simply being “smart.”</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>You’re in denial. :)</p>
<p>Well im guessing theres 3 varieties of 2400 scorers.</p>
<p>1) have a decent amount of intelligence, practice a lot, have some luck and get a 2400.</p>
<p>2) Insanely smart and very lucky and score 2400 (most likely are good test takers)</p>
<p>3)Practice and Practice and Practice until they know the SAT like the back of their hand and get a 2400</p>
<p>i raised my score from a 2190 to a 2380 (1600 m + cr) by just being more diligent about checking my work when i had extra time. instead of putting my head down on my desk for the last 10 minutes of each section, or just verifying that i filled in all the correct bubbles, i went back through every single question and answered it again without looking at my previous answer.
i re-solved all of the math problems i found difficult and caught a lot of mistakes this way (raising my math from 670 to 800). stay calm throughout the test and just methodically re-solve and re-answer every single answer until you run out of time.
(i know i didn’t get a 2400 but i figured i’m still allowed in this thread.)</p>
<p>^ a 2380 is close enough haha</p>
<p>Amazing Sanxie, really amazing, u r such a great source of inspiration, u do need an applaud, a reaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy good one !! God Bless You !!</p>
<p>I made a 1300 430CR 429M 410W in 7th grade by not thinking about it at all and randomly guessing!</p>
<p>Taking some official practice tests and reviewing the online solutions for questions about which I had doubts, generally thinking about how to take the test, and answering SAT questions on CC.</p>
<p>Get on the ball as soon as possible. If I’m not mistaken, silverturtle here took his first SAT as a freshman, and I presume he had studied for the test for a while prior to that (correct me if I’m wrong). Don’t do what I did and wait until the week of the test to start studying.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, when I took the SAT as a freshman, I had not prepared. I was using it as sort of a benchmark that I could fall back upon if necessary, which is generally not a good idea because some schools don’t want their applicants to use Score Choice.</p>
<p>^ Now you see silverturtle for the first time bragging lol. “I had not prepared” while being in his freshman year, and still getting above 2100. LOL</p>
<p>Still, your an inspiration.</p>
<p>To get a 2400 you need pot. And lots of it.</p>
<p>^In some cases, I would agree.</p>
<p>^^ I know some guy high on e from rolling at 2 in the morning who took the SAT the following morning at 8 and got 2340.</p>
<p>Haha, unfortunately I’m not the type of person to do drugs, nor are most other kids on this site, so these aren’t very helpful, though they are somewhat humorous.</p>
<p>Take a few BB practice tests.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wouldn’t call this bragging, necessarily. It isn’t hard to score above 2100 without preparation if you’re a naturally bright student. In some cases (including some here on CC), students have scored 2300+ with little to no preparation.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
