<p>I got a 196 (blah) on the PSAT last (sophomore) year without studying. If I prepared a bit for this SAT, what could I possibly get on it?? I'm hoping for a 2000+, but I know that's probably not going to happen. And by preparing a little bit, I mean three hours with an SAT practice book. Thanks!</p>
<p>The more you study and practice, the better you will do. How much someone needs to study varies from person to person.</p>
<p>You definitely can score really highly! You got a way better sophomore PSAT than I did. </p>
<p>My sophomore year, I scored a 169 on the PSAT.
My junior year, I scored a 200 on the PSAT.
^Both without preparing. </p>
<p>On my junior SAT, I scored a 2290 with preparation. (preparation = ~7 hours of studying for ~10 days during holiday break :D) </p>
<p>I plan on taking it twice more!</p>
<p>Hello Rahul, you got a good score. Can you share how you prepared for SAT - particularly Reading and Writing?</p>
