<p>Does anyone have any tips for people aiming for a 2400 on the SAT?</p>
<p>I'm not under any illusions or anything - I know that it is extremely difficult, requires hard work, and a little luck. I'm preparing though; I have procured the BB2 and I also have access to the web course, and I will do all 21 tests before the actual date.</p>
<p>I'm willing to spend quite a bit of time working on this. I'm planning on writing this October, but have August and September off and am willing to spend a great amount of time each day preparing. Any tips for what to look out for, what books to buy, and how to spend this time?</p>
<p>Also, what should I do after finishing all 21 CB tests? Are the Kaplan's or Barron's practice tests worth it?</p>
<p>I've also done the first practice test in the old BB with the following result:</p>
<p>a score range of 2250-2390 with 4 incorrect CR questions, perfect math, and 2 incorrect Writing questions. What do you think my chances are?</p>
<p>This is not a very useful question. Clearly you could score a 2400 on a good day. At the highest levels, there is a bit of luck factored in (did a problem throw you for a loop? did you not care for a passage? etc.), so it’s hard to say for certain if you could be assured of a 2400. </p>
<p>Just prepare well, take the exam, get whatever high score you’ll probably get, and be happy. BTW: 21 practice exams when you’re at the 2350 level is a complete and utter waste of time. Just thought I’d let you know.</p>
<p>Personally, I haven’t found Kaplan, Barron’s, or McGraw/Hill as tests that are not nearly as useful as the CB material. I used the former three brands to study for my first SAT last March, but after scoring from 2230-2400 on those, the actual test was noticeably different, especially in regards to the critical reading section and higher-level math questions. I only had a 2150. But after purchasing CB material, I feel much more confident and I believe I have gotten the true feel for the test.</p>
