For the last 100 points...

<p>I’m taking the sat sometime this winter and I want this to be the last time. Right now I’m at about a 750 in writing and CR and an 800 in math.</p>

<p>Don’t get me wrong, I think my score is good enough to get into any college, but I would much <em>prefer</em> a 2400. If I got a 2350, I would probably retake just to get a 2400. I know it may be crazy but it’s in my character so let’s not focus on that.</p>

<p>My question is, how should I go about getting the last 100 points? I’ve used (or partially used) all tests and questions (it’s kind of sad now that I think of it) in the blue book and online course so now I’m trying to find out where to turn. I can think of a few options, most notably-</p>

<li><p>Buy a 2400 book and work through it</p></li>
<li><p>Buy Princeton Review’s 11 practice tests book</p></li>
<li><p>Work through the Blue Book tests again? Go over everything a few times…</p></li>
</ol>

<p>And how is Princeton Review’s book Exactly? I know it isn’t really that accurate and all but, and ONLY for CR and Writing, how is the Difficulty? Do you think it could give me the 100 points? What do you guys think?</p>

<p>there's really nothing you can do to go from a 2350 to a 2400.</p>

<p>when you have a 2350, it all comes down to getting lucky, and picking the right test day. Why? because on the october test, you might know what "acipenser" means. but then, on a different test date, you won't have a clue of what "amplivagant means." Sorry if this sounds confusing, what i'm trying to say is difficult to put into words.</p>

<p>^ yes I agree...the last 50 points or so come down to pure luck. I was getting 2400's on some practice tests and 2250's on others. I ended up with a 2350 as my real score.</p>

<p>i disagree. to me, closing this gap comes down to figuring out what's giving you problems.</p>

<p>analyze your old tests. if the questions you're getting wrong are all of one or two types, then focus on those one or two question types and you should be good eventually. if they're not of the same type, your problem probably comes down to focus/attention to detail.</p>

<p>^^yeah but theres always the chance that a word you dont know will show up or that a CR or writing problem will be particularly confusing and be a crapshoot.</p>

<p>But -2 or 3 on CR is still an 800 so I can not know a few words. Same for writing. There will always be a few odd questions, I'm just wandering the best way to get all the others right.</p>

<p>Humans generally are right only 30% of the time. According to President Taft, if you were right 75% of the time then you could go to the NY Stock Market, make billions, and retire at age 30. I think the fact that the SAT wants you to be 100% correct is a monumentous task.</p>

There's a 70% chance that you're wrong.</p>

<p>There's a 70% chance that YOU'RE wrong. Me too...</p>

<p>Can we get on topic?</p>

<p>well, good luck (you'll need it) with trying to get a perfect score. :)</p>

<p>You've gotta be freaking kidding me OP. Unbelievable.</p>

<p>I guess this is just proof that high SAT does not necessarily equal high intelligence, as much as I'd like to believe the opposite.</p>

<p>what's wrong with trying to be the best at something? i don't think stix believes that a perfect score is going to solve every problem in his (or her) life. i say, if you want to go for it, go for it.</p>

<p>I'm not going to bother arguing, because unfortunately CCers are pretty stubborn about things like this.</p>

<p>I wouldn't say that "high SAT scores don't equal intelligence" (at least, with me) because you're not going to get very far...</p>

<p>haha. in a lot of cases they equal a combination of intelligence and drive. genius is 99% perspiration, and so on.</p>

<p>the last 100 points are really just based on the test. I've been studying for the last month and my score fluctuates between 2300 - 2400.</p>

<p>What if you get a 2290 on the next test?</p>
