<p>I took my first SAT in march, got a 2340 (750/800/790), I took it again in May and got a 2350 (760/800/790) and I am going to try for a 2400 in October.</p>
<p>For those two I used an old SAT book: Kaplan's Comprehensive 2006 edition. I recently bought Kaplan's SAT 2400 and Kaplan's 12 Practice Tests for the SAT. What I'm curious about is: are those two enough? Has anyone here gotten a 2400 and is willing to share tips/advice about studying to get specifically a 2400?</p>
<p>I'm trying for a 2400 in October, as well. I've already asked for help on this topic, and here it is: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=297929&highlight=2400%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=297929&highlight=2400</a></p>
<p>I got a 2330 (800/760/770) in March, so I don't think you want my personal advice =-).</p>
<p>well, my main issue was math, so once i ironed that out it was smooth sailing. (it was mostly an issue of timing. SAT math problems are REALLY predictable. i practiced a TON so i could just read a problem and spit out a solution really fast. learning the types of problems thatll be on the test, then memorizing the solution process, really helped me. that way i had extra time to spend on toughies.)</p>
<p>critical reading: don't pick the too-easy answer, but don't pick the over-thinker answer either.</p>
<p>another thing: don't get lazy. check and recheck your writing Mult ch. i ALWAYS found more errors that i had overlooked on my initial run-through of the section.</p>
<p>why bother taking it again if youve already received a score of 2300+ it just seems ridiculous</p>
<p>"critical reading: don't pick the too-easy answer, but don't pick the over-thinker answer either."</p>
<p>Can you elaborate on that please?</p>
<p>I'm with Snake on this one -- why in the world would you spend time out of your busy schedule to try to get a 2400 if you've already gotten a 2300+? The schools you're applying to won't look at it any differently. If anything, I think it could work against you. I've heard admissions officers at various info sessions say that they would look negatively at a student who has a very high score retaking the SAT again to score even higher because they don't want students who are anxiety-driven perfectionists.</p>
